RILEY I-IGUSE Riley, the purple house, was named after Cora E. Riley. Ms. Riley was the first director of guidance at Newton North, and served as such from 1930-1948. Ms. Riley was noted for her self-discipline, honesty, and true affection for the student body, her associates, and the entire com- munity. Housemaster Scottie Guild outlined his goals for the house this year, We would like the kids to learn how to be accountable and more social. We hope they develop identification with the house and the school. We would also like to offer the appropriate amount of freedom and responsibility to the Riley House students on a class basis.
