Humphreys, district director of Pupil Personnel Services for Duchesne County, has ressigned and will become asso- ciated with the Davis High School as counselor. Mr. Humphreys has served in Duchesne for two years, one as of principal the Elementary school and one as director of personnel. He has finished the current year as principal of the Duchesne High School. Mr. and Mrs. Humphreys and their three daughters will make their home in Kaysville. Both Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Humphreys have been very active in civic and church organizations and the community will feel a big loss in their leaving. He is serving as president of the Duchesne Lions Club. Mrs. Humphreys had also done a wonderful service to the young people in Duchesne as an instructor in piano. She has a number of students. Supt. Rowan C. Stutz expresses his regrets in losing Mr. Humphreys and reports that he is seeking a suitable replacement for him in the district staff. The following letter was submitted to the Uintah Basin Record by Mr. Humphreys; Dear Friends: I am writing this letter in an effort to show my appreciation for the privilege I have had in working with the young people of Duchesne County as your Director of Personnel. There are several groups of people that deserve special men tion: First, there are the parents with whom I have been able to get acquainted, and who have helped me with my work. ' Second, there is the fine group of teachers who have been so and cooperative, understanding and' who are carrying much of the responsibility for guidance activities. Third, the Board of Education and the superintendent have always been interested and willing to help develop and carry out a program of guidance for the young people in Duchesne County. Fourth, there are the young people who attend our schools. I hope that a strong guidance program will be continued and developed farther as the years roll by. The young people really need help in many ways; they need educational guidance to help them get more out of their schooling, they need vocational guidance to help them better understand their future occupational hopes and their potential worth to society, and they need help with the many personal problems that confront them during the years in school. This help needs to be backed up with objective tests to remove as much guess work as possible from any guidance they receive. In leaving Duchesne County, I cant help but have many feelings of regrets in leaving, particularly n, Allred. Renee Kofford modeled her - 10. In The Service Of Country CECIL L. KOFFORD Cecil L.
