Performing one of the many duties the demanding position of principal requires, Mr. Teters records his correspondence on the dictaphone. Principal, Mr. Ralph Teters, centers his in- terests on providing educational leadership for all Roseburg High students and stresses the im- portance of adequate secondary education for the future. Scheduling assemblies, keeping a school calendar and roster, co-ordinating class and administration activities, and interviewing prospective teachers are also included in his many duties. Mr. Teters received his bachelor's and mas- ter's degrees at the University of Oregon. After teaching at Sandy High School for three years and McMinnville High for one, doubts about his continuing in education drove him to commercial printing for one year. This year was enough to prove to him that education is his first love. Re- turning to his career in education, he became principal-superintendent at Monroe Union High School and then transferred to Roseburg, where he secured the post of vice principal. Serving on the County Juvenile Advisory Counsel, reading, and fishing take up most of his spare time. He is married, has three chil- dren, and is a member of the Methodist Church. 14 Administration
