m nncipa General management and supervision of the school is the responsibility of our principal, whose broad interpretation of a logical, yet interesting, educational program is illustrated by the various NTHS activities flourishing under his endorse¬ ment and support. Mr. Cotanche is identified with the phe¬ nomenal development of a school whose life span is still less than a decade. From a rich back¬ ground of personal experience and through habit of daily study of a multiplicity of intricate fac¬ tors, he has evolved a basic school philosophy which is organically adapted to local opportuni¬ ties and limitations. The unity between the school and the Board of Education is a realization of his advisory position to the Board. Though ever busy with school projects, he plays an important role as an outstanding citizen of the community; and, indeed, regards fulfill¬ ment of community obligations an essential phase of the school administrator ' s service. Through excellent leadership, Mr. Cotanche has integrated students, faculty, and school facili¬ ties into a co-operative unit which is at once workable and flexible. Office Miss Irene Tess, clerk, and Miss Laura Ross, secretary, staff our busy center of official communications and records. 1939 1940 NILEHI REFLECTIONS

Mlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll JI JIM The Board of Education enjoys the respect and admiration of the entire township for its fine administrative record. That our new school is ranked among the most soundly designed and handsomely equipped educational plants now to be found in Chicagoland, is a tribute of which this group is most deserving. Last summer, the sudden death of Mr. Frank Ambler, member of the Board from Lincoln wood, marked the close of a period of service that began with the inception of the high school. Mr. Ambler ' s passing represented a loss which was felt in every quarter of the township. Mr. Willard E. Hertzberg of Lincolnwood was appointed to serve out the unexpired term of Mr. Ambler. LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Ralph E. Cotanche, Mr. Mack D. Falknor, Mr. Peter J. Kluesing, Miss Mildred Tess. President. Mr. Ivan M. Paroubek, Mr. Willard E. Hertzberg. [Assistant [Principal The Guidance program of NTHS is in the capable hands of Mr. Flagg. He conducts courses in orientation, plans vocational assemblies, arranges personal interviews, directs guidance functions of all teachers, and is evolving a student program of study integrated on class levels; namely, fresh¬ men adjustment to high school, sophomore per¬ sonality study, junior formulation of correct social habits, and, finally, senior preparation for advanced work, whether academic or commercial. The warm interest and practical advice which Mr. Flagg brings to each student who seeks a bet¬ ter understanding of the high school curriculum are creating a widespread appreciation of the true usefulness of his specialized service. Mr. Fl agg maintains professional contact with co¬ workers in the field through his prominent partici¬ pation in the activities of the Midwest Guidance Association, an organization which has as its sine qua non Education is Guidance. t ' 3 )
