DescriptionRuth Baker, principal of Comanche Elementary School, sits partially on a desk in a spare room at Montgomery Elementary School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She speaks to two third grade students, Mary Carter and Joan Pulkerson, who will be transferring to Montgomery Elementary School. Baker shows the students a piece of paper and points to information on it. The two girls look toward the sheet of paper in the principal's hand. There are shelves in the background along the wall of the room that hold tea cups, books, and boxes of supplies.
