They really care for each person. Miss Bybee has had a lot of experience with caring, having taught at the West Point School for all of her teaching career except for the first year when she taught first grade at Syracuse. When I came to West Point I was a little apprehensive since it was my home. Her father O. H. Bvbee had been principal in that school. The West Point school was originally constructed in 1911 and has been renovated four times, with the last addi- DORA BYBEE, Principal at West Point Elementary School, was the only woman principal in Davis Schools for many years. But in the fall of 1976 she was joined m that administrative capacity by Shirley Pearson, who was named prim cipal of Doxey Elementary' School in Sunset and Nancy Flemming, assistant principal at Millcreek Junior High in Bountiful. Miss Flemming is currently on sabbatical leave. Dr. Pearson, who has been an elementary school principal in schools in Minnesota and Illinois, says that children react to the personality of the administrator and not to whether that person is male or female. Miss Bybee agrees that discipline problems are no more difficult for a woman than for a man. tion being added in SHE SAID that since many of the old do continue to live m West Point that often a child will say, I cant believe you were my daddys first grade teacher.

She says that currently children, while just as bright, tend to be more hyper and less settled for school work. Miss Bybee agreed that the children now are different. They are still sweet, but you have to do a lot more convincing." years that they like spending time with children. Miss Bybee was a first and second grade teacher at West Point School before she took on the additional administrative duty of the principalship. It was only three years ago that she gave up her call, but still holds reading groups with children in her office when she has time. Her goal each year is to hear every child in the school read at least once.

Both parents think that it's important for the principal to know all the children, as well as provide inservice training for the teachers. It takes more work to be a good teacher these days, Dr. Pearson said. But Miss Bybee believes in keeping some of the old traditions that have worked over the years. She says she has directed 34 operettas during the years she has been at West Point. Every child in the school has a part in the operetta, exclusive of the kindergarten children. DR. PEARSON came to Davis School District after seven years experience as a principal-tw- o years in Minnesota and five years in Illinois. Since she has had her PhD degree, she feared that she might be d for an elementary administrative position. She says that, although Utah schools seem to have less money to finance their more program, the teachers are than those she has known in dedicated, other states. She talked about the lack of women in administrative positions in Utah Schools, saying many women are qualified, but arent applying for the over-educate- THE NICE part about being at the same school all the years is in being able to watch the children go from West Point to North Davis Junior High in Clearfield to Clearfield High School, I watch the positions they are elected to and see what happens to them, Miss Bybee said.

Miss Bybee tries to keep close contact with the students by being on hand to help unload the buses each morning and see the last children leave on the bus as it pulls out after school. She spends 30 minutes on the playground with the children each day. It helps to relieve the teachers and gives me contact with the children, she says.
