This contact sheet contains two sets of images: in one set, Mrs. MacDougal's is attending a meeting with the school board; in the other, she is working with a small group of children at a table. 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.
