The Democratic member of Congress from Utahs District 2 used analagies of Mr. Nixons life with his own when it comes to hanging in there and taking the failures with the successes. He spoke at the monthly graduation for Clearfield Job Corps students last Friday.

Both principals have been professional educators for many years.

She has taught in Torrance, Calif., Granite School District and Davis District in Utah. She is a member of the joint staff study committee, a peer evaluator, a member of the state science core project and the district science committee. Ms. Oberg is president of the Bountiful High AFS chapter. She is active in the League of Women Voters, the PTA, the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts. Mr. Broadhead started teaching in 1968 at the Clearfield LDS Seminary. He served as principal of the North Davis Junior High Seminary and as the area director in the San Carlos Indian Seminary program in Globe, Ariz. He taught drivers education in Globe and at Weber State College and the Clearfield Job Corps. Since 1981 Mr. Broadhead has been an elementary school teacher at Cook Elementary.
