BANDY, OUR PRINCIPAL IN APPRECIATION Mr. Carl D. Bandy is the Executive Head of the Clay Rural School District. He holds a superintendent’s certificate and a permanent teaching certificate. In 1937, he was graduated from Wilmington College with a B. S. in Education. Prior to that he attended Rio Grande College and Ohio University. He furthered his training by attending the University of Colorado and Arizona State University. In 1947, he received an M. A. in School Administration from Arizona State University. Mr. Bandy has taught in the Bloom Township and the Green Township Schools and has coached basketball for those schools. The Board of Education of Clay Township first employed Mr. Bandy in 1937 as principal of the Long Run School. He served in that position for two years or until the present Junior High School Building was completed. At that time he be came Administrative Head of Clay High School and Supervisor of the entire district. The enrollment at that time was 719. He remained in that capacity until this build ing was ready for occupancy. The present enrollment is 915. During the period of peak employment at the Atomic Plant the enrollment was over 1100. It was only because of Mr. Bandy’s comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the problems involved that the available school facilities could absorb such an influx of students without serious disruption. When the new high school building was completed, Mr. Bandy was chosen Principal. Thus he has the unique honor of being the first Principal and the only Principal of each of the high school buildings. The magnificent structure we are in today is the evidence of Mr. Bandy’s devotion to and understanding of the teaching profession. The students say, “We like Mr. Bandy because he understands us. 11 Mr. Bandy is married to the former Elizabeth Hock. They have two sons. Paul is a graduate of Clay High School and Ohio University. He is at the present time an Electrical Engineer at Hamilton Standard at Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Dale is a senior this year at Clay High School. He has been a member of the scholarship teams, is a member of the National Honor Society, and is an outstanding athlete. The Bandys reside on Maple-Benner Road. ADMINISTRATION Superintendent McCowen said in a statement to us, “The progress of all rural schools has been satisfactory and we are indeed proud of the splendid record of our schools. New School Legislation which goes into effect in 1956 should help us improve our systems in many ways. We must never be content with our progress, however, and our sights must be placed on the years to come from 1960 on through 1970 in order to meet the needs of our growing school population. The County Administration sends its congratulations to the Clay Township High School, the entire Staff, Principal, and Board of Education, and especially to the student body for ajob well done.** Mr. McCowen received his B. S. Degree from Ohio Uni versity, the Master's Degree from Northwestern University and has attended both Otter be in College and Harvard University. EDWARD R.
