Asuperintenclent must first of all be a good business man, and seconda shrewd personnel manager. He must beable to get along with many people and solve many problems brought about by their conflicting desires. Four years ago Sam Shipley, a school man of 30 years experience, took over the tremendous task of administering the Scurry-Rosser School System. This experience, together with his driving energy and thrifty management of Finances, has helped him to be- come the excellent administrator that he is today.
