Faculty Provides Guidance And Leadership Faculty members, as well as the student body at North Mecklenburg High School, have long beenx known for their leadership ability. XVith an intense interest in the welfare of each student, the faculty sought to have each student work to his full capacity and to find him- self and his place in society. Moreover, they strive to keep alert to new pro- cedures and new courses that could be used to prepare the students for the future. They worked with the stu- dents in many extra-curricular activities, all of which helped to broaden the students, interests. Through the training by an energetic faculty and students who were interested in their own well-being, it is no wonder that North is known as the Home of College Presidentsf meaning that many North students have been elected to Students Council and Class presi- dencies during their college years. An official interested in Junior Achievement was amused at an announcement made by Mr. Hough at assembly. Weiglited down with camera and strobe, Mrs. Barfield had to have help to get down off the bleachers in the gym. She had climbed high to get a picture of the students dancing.

A helpful method of getting the idea across, the Burns, Board was used by Mr. Marshall in an explanation of the properties of triangles. Interested observers were Tommy Blythe and Anita Dresser ADMI ISTRATIO DCGUR EOF TUDY Our founding fathers were interested in the edu- cation of their children even when they had no money for school houses or teachers. Often the parents were the teachers, but then there came the small church schools, and in the North Mecklenburg area an acad- emy was founded at Sugaw Creek and taught by Craig- head. Other academies were founded throughout the communities. It used to be said by the teacher when hunting a school, You furnish the boy and the book, and I will furnish the hickory. But leadership was evidenced in other ways also. Now the times have changed - but the leadership of a community, as well as the school, can often be found in the teachers. In the interest of the student, 'officials and teachers seek to enlarge the curriculum so that the student will be able to take a modern approach to a subject. Many extra-curricular activities, which enrich the life of the student, are sponsored by faculty mem- bers. Many hours and much effort are spent to en- courage growth in character, leadership. and citizenship.
