A good school must have at its foundation a good administration. Lenoir High can boast an outstanding one with the acquisition of Mr. Robert N. Caddell as principal. Mr. Caddell re¬ ceived his B.S. and M.A. Degrees from East Carolina University and earned a degree in Ad¬ vanced Education Administration from the Uni¬ versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has previously held positions at Maury High School and Cameron Park School. Under his leadership, Lenoir High has been expanding into a new realm of ideas and policies. Schedules, phone calls, bills, sick students, files, absentees, mail ... on and on the list ex¬ tends. Mrs. Nelson keeps up with all these things and more. Anytime anyone wants to know any¬ thing he runs first to Mrs. Nelson. She manages to tie all the loose ends of the school into well- knotted order and masterfully holds the school together. Through contact with student leaders Mr. Caddell relates to the student body. Mrs. Pauline S. Nelson, our competent secretary, is assisted this year by Mrs. Patty Lefler. Amidst the turbulence. Mr. Robert Caddell finds a quiet haven.

The School Board, headed by Mr. Donald Baker as chairman, is a very important decision-making body, whose members meet twice a month to discuss school policy and procedures. Mr. J. G. Hagaman is Superintendent of Lenoir City Schools. One of his duties is hiring teachers, and we can see what a fine job he does by our many competent new teachers this year. He is also an important liaison between the School Board and the Principal. 18
