Mr. Crow, a graduate of the Haskell Indian Institute at Lawrence, Kans., first came with the Bureau in 1934, as clerical assistant at Fort Totten, N. Dak. After several months in this assignment he transferred to the Truxton Canon Agency, Valentine, Ariz., where he was given increasing responsibilities and finally named superintendent in 1942. Four years later he became superintendent of the Mescalero Agency, Mescalero, New Mex., and remained in that post until 1951 when he was designated administrative assistant of the Colorado River Agency, Parker, Ariz. Later that same year he was appointed superintendent at Fort Apache.
Mr. Hawley came with the Bureau in 1935 and for eight years as a boys’ adviser at the Carson Indian School, Stewart, Nev. After Navy service during World War II he returned to the Bureau as principal of the Carson School in 1946 and one year later was named reservation principal. In 1950 he became principal of the Tuba City Boarding School on the Navajo Reservation and subsequently served as reservation principal at Carson and at San Carlos Agency, San Carlos, Ariz., prior to his appointment as superintendent at Papago in September 1954. He received a bachelor's degree from Davis and Elkins College in West Virginia in 1932 and a master’s degree from Stanford University in 1951.
