Efficiency Fclcilitcltes Work Working together in an efficient manner made the Work of the cafeteria staff much lighter for all of them. Each day they served three different groups within a few minutes of each other, and they were always ready for the groups when they arrived in the cafeteria. This group worked to serve well-balanced hot meals to students and teachers. Menus were planned by the managers throughout the county to permit more variety in the menu, and to pro- duce meals that are both nourishing and appetiz- ing. The maiority of the students ate lunch in the cafeteria each day. Serving North as custodian since its opening, Mr. Hugh Deaton and his janitorial staff kept the building clean and neat looking.

Scholastic Development Important Aim Of School To develop the student into a well-rounded in- dividual is the aim of the school, but to allow and encourage him to develop his abilities to the ut- most is a primary aim. Each student has a respon- sibility to himselfg and until he has done his work to the best of his ability, he has not fulfilled that responsibility. The student who shirks his duty quite often finds that doors to greater op- portunities are closed to him. Sometimes the stu- dent realizes this too late to do anything about it. Teachers and administrative personnel at North try to guide the student into the realization that high school years provide the best means of prepar- ation so that the student may take advantage of any opportunities that may come to him. Realizing that at times opportunities are a pro- duct of oneis initiative, students are encouraged to develop that and other qualities in their scho- lastic Work. Many tests are given to help the student find himself, so that he may use his time to an ad- vantage to promote his own welfare. Classroom teachers try to guide students to seek knowledge and to develop a curiosity about things, so that they will develop all their aptitudes. Northis classes try to give each individual what he needsg and regardless of what he aspires to do, the school tries to help him develop in order to achieve that purpose. Page Twenty-Three
