Administration Sets Pace for School ' Success comes lo people who are not con- sidering the narrow question of what they are paid lor, but the broad question of what they can do to be helpful. It is that attitude which leads to the promotion of the individual, the profit of the business and the prosperity of that nation. So wrote Calvin Coolidge many years ago. Success is a most difficult term to define. Perhaps one ol the most successful men of our time was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, musician, phy- sician, missionary, humanitarian. To some, his ef- forts were a waste of time. Hut to others, who have studied his background, here was a man who will be remembered for many years because of his de- votion, dedication, and kindliness to humankind. It would lie a great thing, indeed, if all of us gave closer attention to our abilities and interests and channeled our efforts in the great cause of mankind. No greater reward can be reached than a selfless devotion to such great causes. As grad- uating seniors leave our company, we will be watching with eagerness and interest the future achievements of each one as he takes his place in society.

s Necessary Part of Student Life College counselor, Lorraine McNew, helps to guide North Central ' s seniors in planning future education. To make planning easier, she gathers various information from many colleges and uni- versities. Seniors planning to further their educa- tion are often required to take several tests which are also provided by the college counselor. North Central ' s school nurse, Anita Swanson, even with her busy schedule, has kept accurate and up to date health records on each student. Though she was not available every day, she was always ready to advise or assist any student with broken arms, headaches, sprains, or just colds. Cots in the room next to her office are often occupied by ail- ing students. School supplies from folders and erasers to compasses and note cards can be purchased in the bookroom at reduced prices. Students can also work in the bookroom under the direction of the bookroom clerk, Mrs. Wayland, The lost-and-found department is located in the bookroom. All text- books are checked in and out and mended here also. Consulting college catalogues are Mrs. McNew and Mr. Hagen, student advisors. Selling school supplies is one of the jobs which Mrs. Wayland, bookroom clerk, does daily. 11
