Nominations for the 1970 election

JLhe following persons have been nomi- nated for director by the Nominations Committee. The list should be read with two things in mind: ( 1 ) The Bylaws impose restrictions upon the teaching-level distri- bution of membership on the Board of Di- rectors, and (2) The Nominations Com- mittee has been mindful of a widespread feeling among members of the Council that each of the several levels of instruction should be represented on the Board by classroom teachers at that level.

Two nominees, at least one of whom must be elected, to represent the elemen- tary school area:

Anna Marie Evans, Ohio Lyn McLane, Massachusetts

Two nominees, at least one of whom must be elected, to represent the junior college area:

James Hardesty, California Keith W. Williams, Florida

Four nominees, at most two of whom may be elected:

Louis S. Cohen, Minnesota Floyd Downs, California Leroy Sachs, Missouri Jo Anne S. Taber, Florida

The committee's report was accepted by the Board of Directors at its September 1969 meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Biograph- ical material and photographs of these nominees will be published in the January 1970 issues of The Arithmetic Teacher and The Mathematics Teacher. - Har- old C. Trimble (Chairman), E. Glenadine Gibb, Mildred Keiffer, Dexter A. Magers, Bruce E. Meserve, Agnes Y. Rickey, Her- bert R. Steffens, Max A. Sobel, and Wil- liam Wooton.
