But in the fall of 1976 she was joined in 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.

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.

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. r Nursing Center was presented last week by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8307 of Layton.

She talked about the lack of over-educate- women in administrative positions in Utah Schools, saying many women are qualified, but arent applying for the 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. 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.
