Dr. Clarence M. Long. Dr. Joseph A. McCIvmonds, and Miss Isabel Anderson. Because these people are not seen too often on our campus and because their duties are not known, we do not realize how important the performance of their duties is to us. Dr. Long, Supervising Principal of the Slippery Bock Area Joint School District, consisting of twelve districts, is also the Director of Teacher Placement, lie organizes the student teaching program both on and off campus, and attempts to place the graduates in school systems which meet their individual needs. Dr. McClymomls is Assistant Director of the Laboratory School and is the organizer and administrator of the Secondary School. He works with all the secondary teachers and helps them with such problems as curriculum and discipline. Miss Anderson is the Supervisor of Elementary Education at tin La bora-lor School, and besides working with the teachers • c 11 there, she helps the elementary teachers in the Joint School District with their problems. I bus, by the performance of their duties, these three faculty members assure us of guidance and assistance while we are student teaching and in finding a good position after graduation.
