A INVESTIGATE Many elements unite to give direction to our academic lite. The 8:15 bell rings summoning the students to class. They scatter to the gym, shop, study, or any one ot the thirty-two classrooms. Papers are due, tests are graded, and assign- ments are given. Teachers are willing, students are eager, and the administra- tion is understanding. These and many other tactors guide and direct our academic life.

AND GUIDANCE SET DIRECTION Rev. William Beckmann Registrar Counselor Luther North is unique in its organization in that the Administration and Guidance are closely related. 'l'he guidance council is headed by Mr. Martin Duensing, and it consists ol counselors of all four classes, the Spiritual Advisor, and the Dean of Stu- dents. The advice and leadership of these people help us in our preparation. Tests are administered and meanings are interpreted. 'l'heir offices are open for guidance in ques- tions concerning personal problems, course planning, or choosing a future vocation or college. Mr. Harold Meier Dr. Louis A. Menking Superintendent Counselor Rev, Emmet Rogness Spiritual Advisor The thirty-eight congregations of the North District are represented each month when the Council meets to discuss the problems of Luther North. These problems include the budget, appointments of teachers and department heads, and general school policies. Consisting of two pastors, two teach- ers, and six laymen, the board is headed by Dr. Louis A. Menking, who sees that the policies set by the Council are carried out. As superintendent of our three Lutheran High Schools, Dr. Menking's work is diversified. His main effort is the coordination of the schools in matters of business and administration. Not only does he visit the schools, plan the budgets, and deal with the appointments of new teachers, but he also represents the Lutheran High School Association at many civic affairs. l...1...t
