Their Hands Guide Tenderfeet The faculty of North Platte High School set a good example for students by par- ticipating in all school sponsored ac- tivities. Not only do teachers carry full teaching loads and sponsor extra-cur- ricular activities, they also participate in faculty parties, professional meet- ings, the Teacher's Bowling League, and ticket selling at athletic events. Certainly, thereby, they promote closer teacher relationship. The faculty again held profes- sional building classes this year with the purpose in mind to solve problems through discussion. Some of the topics this year include, Our School-Teacher Responsibility, lmprovement of Vo- cational Conferences, The Place of the 3 R's in High School, Our Stu- dents, and The Teacher and the Com- munity. This year a new method of reg- istration was inaugurated. Registering is done now through two counselors. Miss Mary Hutton is in charge of the girls and Roy W. Mayer advises the boys. The faculty not only works with fellow members of the high school but also cooperates with teachers from all schools in the NPEA. This year the NPEA held a square dancing party in January. Miss Phyllis Hockstettler is the president of the association. Miss Harriet Lute, Miss Reta King, and Don Smith, are Senior High School representatives on the planning committee. The teachers' main objective throughout the years is to develop stu- dent interest. Various class activities and projects help arouse student co- operation and ambition. Open house, which is held an- nually, gives teachers a chance to be- come acquainted with parents and dis- cuss their student problems. The 1953-1954 faculty of 35 consists of 14 women and 21 men. Nine teachers joined NPHS faculty ranks at the beginning of the year. INTRODUCING. Bob Armstead introduces members of the faculty at Open House.
