CLOCKWISE FROM RIGHT: Mr. Dan Robin- son checks his mail at the end of a very busy day. Exchanging a friendly greeting outside of the at- tendance office are Dr. Max Evans and Mr. Bill Bimat. Making a welcoming speech, Dr. Richard Brown addresses the student body at the first rally of the year. Standing in the cool shade during the fall sports rally, Mr. Dan Robinson shares conversation with several North High teachers. E Q Robertson Assumes Dean s POS1t10 The so called 'sbad guy of North High has always been the Dean of Students. Mr. Dwight Robertson assumed this unpopular position this year after the hospitalization of Mr. Gary Short over the summer months. Mr. Robertson enjoys his position de- spite the image, because he gets a chance to help students receive an edu- cationg but there are two drawbacks that plague his job. One is that he rarely gets a chance to see the students who do really well in school. He sees the stu- dents who are having problems, but in turn develops a close and trusting rela- tionship with these students. The second drawback is the reputation that goes along with being the Dean. When he was Assistant Dean he could walk into a classroom and feel a com- fortable atmosphere around him. But now, when he walks into a classroom, things become tense and the big ques- tion is, Who are you after? When Mr. Robertson came here from Sunset High in the Bay Area, in 1965, he taught a variety of classes ranging from math to auto shop. He was Assis- tant Dean at North for four years be- fore assuming his present position. Although Mr. Robertson does try to help students improve themselves, by whatever means, the students must un- derstand that the dean helps them to become better people both inside and out, and deserves gratitude and credit for all that he does, no matter what it is. Sitting at his desk, Mr. Dwight Robertson en- gages in a serious discussion with a parent. l28fAdministration 5 ff. 'lx K
