M. J. Peterson - Superintendent, 1946-55. An effective and efficient administrator, remarkable and dynamic American History teacher, outstanding coach of basketball, football and baseball teams. [Yes, he actually coached all three sports in those days!] His wife, Hazell G. Peterson, served as administration secretary and coached the girls basketball team. [I'm quite sure 1947 was the first year Cando had a girls basketball team.] After leaving Cando, Mr. Peterson served in similar positions in South Dakota and Minnesota. From 1969 to 1977 he served as coordinator of migrant programs for the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. Upon his retirement in 1977 the Department honored him for his efforts in establishing an outstanding program. He was widely admired for his professionalism and dedication to more than fifty-six years in public education. He died in Valley City in 1990.  (by Robert Delorme)

Helen C. McConnell - She lived in Cando for many years and was a devoted and long-serving teacher of bookkeeping, typing and stenography. She also directed various dramatic programs during her time of service to Cando High School. Many years after her retirement, she died in Jamestown in 1978 at age 89. (by Robert Delorme)
