School Administrators Walter Anker, New Vice-Principal The administration ai North Central, the principal, vice- principal, and the girls ' and boys ' deans are directly respon- sible tor the efficient management of all school affairs. Most policy interpretation is handled by the princ ipal. John P. Rodkey. Our vice-principal, Walter Anker, was new to N.C. this year, but he soon became a familiar figure about the school as he handled the problems concerning student man- agement and control. The girls ' and boys ' deans. Patricia Butterfield and Ren neth .Mhyre. were active and appreciated in their capac ities as student counselors. Many students are familiar with the concern and sympathy these teachers extend in the course of duty. North Central has a dedicated administrative staff, which devoted many hours to the betterment and understanding of its students. They know that students work much better in an atmosphere of general good feeling than under the burden of unsolved personal problems. Their aim is to be of service to both students and parents in solving scholastic and soc ial problems. John P. Rodkey, Principal Walter Anker, Vice-Principal Patricia Butter student affairs. d.

PTA and School Work Together Efforts Made to Interest Parents in School Affa irs. North Central ' s Parent-Teacher Association worked closely with the school ' s administration through the school year. Their purpose was to bring the home and school closer, so students could receive the benefits of increased understanding between the two factions, and therefore gain more from their education. Officers were elected and held their positions through the entire year. They supervised the two meetings held each month, programmed speakers and planned extracurricular activities. Statistics have shown that close parent-school administra- tion ties have produced a better quality, more interested student that is truly concerned with the affairs of his com- munity. These community-minded individuals are the initiating force of democratic processes: these processes are responsible for the maintenance of America ' s high standards of education and government that make us a truly superior people and give us the full benefits of our society. Mrs. Noreen Barr reviews material pertaining to her duties as president of the PTA for 1964-65.

•ervice Staff; The office, cafeteria and custodial staffs were responsible for many details in the smooth func- tioning of the school. The office stall handled all absentee, dismis- sal and bookkeeping details in the school. Our secretaries were responsible for the compilation ol permanent records for all students of N C. North Central ' s clean halls bear silent testi- mony to the efficiency of the custodial staff. The custodians maintain the grounds and keep the electric and heating systems in proper work- ing order. Attractive meals and snack items were served daily in our cafeteria in the three lunc hes. North Central ' s cafeteria is a busy spot almost any time of day because the cooks are planning and pre- paring food on a continual basis. Custodial staff: Row 1. Zada Wendler, Hugh Leppell.
