SUPERINTENDENT MERLE J. ABBETT PRINCIPAL MILTON H. NORTHROP Authorities Direct Educational Affairs Merle Abbett, superintendent of public schools, has given careful thought and planning to maintain the high stand' ard of our educational system. Under his supervision, North Side has established its place in the community, producing many leading citizens. Mr. Abbett's sugf gestion for a successful high school ca' reer lies in his following quotation. There are no formulae that are effective except hard work, suitable performance of each day's task, and good conduct in every sin' gle experience you will have now and later. These are good days, but hard ones: these are days filled with opportunity, but require your best Godfgiven talents to realize the full beneht of them. 8 , I-Iigh schools have always played an im' portant role in a community, particularly when they are blessed with the leadership of a man of the high caliber and high ideals of North Sidels Milton I-I. Northrop. His keen interest in students and his ability to understand and work with young people have gained him the respect and friendship of every tepeelander. Everyone knows a principals job is a big one with a tremendous responsibility, but in Pop Northrop's 22 years of ex' perience at the Redskin dome no prob' lem is ignored. No alumnus ever forgets Pop , and many take every opportunity to come back and pay him a visit.
