With the Boardls financial and moral support the school has progressed rapidly until today it is one of the best in the state with very high standards. and excellent teachers. Without this group behind us, we would fall very short of our ambitions and desires as a school. Pictured above are: Back row, left to right, W. W. Chick, E. D. Lewis, Albert Fuson, and Paul Allen. Front row, left to right, Merrill Burnidge, Lindsey Smith, V. I. Woods, and Iack Street. The man behind the scenes who sees. that W all goes Well with this school and the sur- rounding district is Mr. H. W. Schooling, Superintendent. Mr. Schooling took the helm at NKC in the spring of 1949 and under his capable direction our school flourishes. His is an enormous- task but he handles it with great elhciency and things run very smoothly under his guidance. MR. W. H. SCHOOLING Superintendent 3 Page Ten
