This Day in History: 1956-05-14
A procedural dispute almost upset the appointment of a new principal for the Commodore Perry School. Mrs. Petri and Mrs. Glasgow complained that they had not been given sufficient chance to interview the candidates for the post. With Mr. Pgels they nominated a local teacher for the post. They said that the Board policy of interviewing only those recommended by the Superintendent was a good way to confer dictatorship. When their candidate was turned down by a vote of 6-3, the original candidate, Manning Hamilton, was unanimously chosen. (Bristow)
