Leader Has Responsibilities Of the many positions at Miami Northwestern, that of the principal is least enviable. Serving as leader of Miami's only all-Negro high school during the present period of social unrest is unduly difficult and time-consuming. But Sam Cohen takes it in stride. Not easily ruffled, Mr. Cohen manages the school smoothly despite outside pressures. He has skillfully handled complications arising from increased student revolt against tradition. His many years of experience as an educator have enabled him to interpret the policies of the school to the public and to keep the school in a favorable limelight. He participates in frequent educational conferences where he must often assist his colleagues to understand the peculiar role MNHS plays in the community it serves. Mr. Cohen has an admirable gift for befriending students and staff members, which has endeared him to the Northwestern family of which he has been Chief for the past ten years. Mx. Samuel O.
