James N. Ross Principal IN COMPLETING a record Miss Janet Twaddle, high school secretary, checks with junior high secretary Pat Hamilton. Lowell Ruggles Assistant Principal Principals Supply Abundant Interest A successful school is run like a wise business invest- ment. A good principal with a large amount of in- terest makes up a good investment.'7 In a business proposition the reward is proiitg in a school it is well- educated students. Providing both the good principal and large amount of interest are Principal James N. Ross and Assistant Principal Lowell Ruggles. Their concern for the student is exhibited both in their regular school activities and in their supervision of the lunch line, at basketball games, and at dances. Interest in the student leads Mr. Ross and Mr. Rug- gles to help him with his problems, to answer his ques- tions, or occasionally to reprimand him. By his ready humor Mr. Ross teaches a moral with a laugh. His antics usually contain a bit of wisdom which students unknowingly absorb. Exemplifying kindness and consideration, Mr. Rug- gles always lends a helping hand. Whether in advising those under his supervision or in retrieving lost items his first thought is for the student.

Quality Education Main Objective One of the main reasons for the high quality of education in Norwalk City Schools is the ef- fective leadership of Mr. James H. McBride, su- perintendent. Another is the immediate interest displayed by members of the Board of Educa- tion. This administration, in its course of planning, sets high standards to make certain that each stu- dent has the necessary foundation to succeed in college or at a vocation, since education is the real strength of a nation. The administration tries to stimulate effective teaching by providing faculty members with good teaching facilities. Completion of the junior high school building in the fall of 1963 will be another step in the improvement of these facilities. Besides the official board meeting held the third Tuesday of each month, a monthly orienta- tion session is planned so board members can acquaint themselves with current curriculum problems. Frequently teachers are invited to speak at such sessions. By engaging in such studies, the administration can more accurately prepare for future school needs. James H.

Staff Is Interested In Each Individual One of the most prized qualities in the members of the faculty at NHS is effective teaching. Every good teacher is interested in the student and is concerned about the attitudes, ideals, and standards of conduct of each student. He tries to help him recog- nize and choose sound values. There are no good schools without competent, re- sourceful teachers Who are actually interested in the student as an individual. Every teacher in his later years regards with satis- faction the success of men and women whose lives he - - ' helped to build. WITH MISS Ruth Bell's help sophomore Glen Bern- hardt looks up the phylum of his snake while Jim Reeves Teaching, like every other occupation, has its dis- Watches' advantages. But a good teacher constantly meets the challenge of giving equal attention to superior and av- erage students and to those with academic difficulties.
