With over 2300 students plus faculty and staff mem- bers, Palatine was a blend of the char- acteristics of all these people.

The ju- niors, although they began to plan for their lives after high school, emerged as school leaders, and struggled through what was considered the har- dest year of academic work. And the seniors, both anxious and sad about graduation, did their best to live it up during their last year of security and aimed to leave their mark on PHS. -:fre 513.

In The Spotlight 0 ' Iii ' It was a very difficult decision to make because most of my profession- al life was associated with Palatine High School. But after I made it, I started thinking about other things in life, said retiring PHS principal Leonard Newendorp, 'Alt became a matter of when, not if. It's going to happen eventually with everyone, said Mr. Newendorp of his decision to retire. I want to experience other things while Ilm still young enough to do them. Mr. Newendorp began his career at PHS in 1959 when he was hired to fill an administrative position at the freshman-sophomore building. When PHS changed from a junior-senior building to a four year high school, Mr. Newendorp assumed the respon- sibility of principal, a position he has held for the past 22 years. During his years as principal, Mr, Newendorp participated in the de- signing of Palatine, Conant, and Schaumburg High Schools, as well as serving on the building committee for the Buehler Y.M.C.A. Yet, he is most proud of the faculty he's assembled at PHS. UI think Pala- tine is a school with a good climate, morale, school spirit, a positive atmo- sphere where learning and teaching take place, I like to think I had a lot to do with thatf' Because of his dedicated service and strong leadership at PHS as prin- cipal, the Spotlight staff proudly dedicates the 1983 Spotlightto Mr. Leonard Newendorp. 8 Opening - X Q , V -'tile' ' Mr. Newendorp fileteda fish that he caught while on his island in Ontario, Canada.
