This contact sheet contains photographs in Mrs. MacDougal's classroom. In some, she is working in small groups with the childrem; in others, she is playing music on a record player; and in others, she is talking with a man. The photoessay follows a day in life of teacher and principal Doris MacDougal at the McLain Grammar School in Rockland, Maine. The essay focuses on the challenge of managing increasing class sizes as post-war baby boom starts to overwhelm schools across the country. The article illustrates both MacDougal's teaching and administrative responsibilities, with a bit of homelife at the end.
