FRANK HILDRETH Hastings College, B.A., Colorado State College, M A. Graduate Study: Univ. of Wis., Univ. of Neb., Drake, Iowa State Univ. Student Girls ' Advisor Helping North girls with their school and employ- ment problems is the main job of Mayme Lyons, Girls ' Advisor. She has shown an extreme interest in helping these girls, and her office has always been open to them. As sponsor of the senior class, Miss Lyons has per- formed many extra responsibilities such as holding home room treasurers ' meetings and co-ordinating the various senior activities. Because she is an excellent pianist, outside of school this is one of Miss Lyons ' many interests. Vice-Principal My main interest in the education of youth, says Mr. Hildreth, is to help boys become men — stable, responsible, contributing citizens. Through guidance, discipline, and employment, Mr. Hildreth helps boys to understand what they are and what they want to be. Outside of his job at North, his greatest interest is in raising the standards of the teaching profession — helping teachers be better teachers. He is a member of the National Commission of Teacher Education and Professional Standing. An interest in gardening takes up much of Mr. Hildreth ' s time at home.

Librarians, Nurse Help Students PHYLLIS SELLERS KAREN PORTER BEULAH FJELDE Librarian Library Clerk Northwestern School of Nursing, R.N. Iowa State University, B.S. Drake B.S. Graduate Study: Univ. of Chicago Quiet! . . . This is certainly the thing most Northites will remember about their library. Open before, during, and after school, the library, which contains over 7,500 volumes, provides students with not only a place to do classroom research or pleasant reading but, also, a quiet atmosphere for study. Students needing gym excuses or cure and sympathy for their aches and pains go to the nurse ' s office. Study Atmosphere Provided Lasting memories of the agony of trying to be quiet during study hall will long persist in the minds of Northites. The students who were able to keep quiet and to do their homework will have another type of lasting memory — a memory that they tried to work and to earn good grades in school.
