Dr. Youngert and Miss Nickelson look over the week ' s calendar. . . . Superintendent of Our ScLot faculty. As Superintendent he has recom¬ mended to the Board of Education those people who have come into this school to help maintain our educational standards and attitudes. Through careful selection of these faculty members, Dr. Youngert has helped to build a teachinq staff capable of leader¬ ship in our various departments. As we all know, Dr. Younqert a year ago announced that this year, I 956-57, would be his final year as Superintendent at Oak Park and River Forest High School. We are sin¬ cerely sorry to see him leave. Faculty mem¬ bers and students alike have gone to his office to discuss all sorts of problems, and always they have found a man with a talent for listening—and for separating the essen¬ tial from the non-essential. His penetrating analysis and forward-looking judgment have won him national recognition, but always Dr. Youngert works with individuals as individ¬ uals. Often he helps discover not so much the answer to a problem as the key to the answer so that the actual solution can belong to the individual. This is administra¬ tion of the highest order. All of us are grateful for the experience of working with Dr. Youngert, and we wish him and Mrs. Youngert well in all of their plans for the future. [9]
