Top men - Helping Northeast students were principal, Mr. Iames Smith, assistant principal, Principal says students care There was a lot to be proud of at Northeast. The school had some of the finest facilities in the state, and it was equal or better in academics than most schools. Principal Iames Smith said that Northeast's strongest point was its student body. He said that the students really cared about their school. Northeast also had some weaknesses, according to Mr. Smith. More vocational education was needed to prepare students for different trades. Mr. Smith said this could be solved by having additional work study programs. Part of Mr. Smith's job was to supervise students and faculty members. He also helped carry out rules set by the school board. When Mr. Smith was absent, assis- tant principal, Mr. Andrew Beavers took over. He also helped to discipline and counsel students. Mr. Anthony Gadberry, dean of students, helped students with their problems, -and tried to answer any questions that arose. With these three men working for the students, Northeast had to be one of the best schools around.

Northeast had four guidance counselors: Mrs. Frances Bing, Mrs. lane Brown, Mrs. Iudy Vandiver, and Mr. Duke Wells. Two guidance secretaries, Mrs. Mary Nell Thomp- son, and Mrs. Avis Wooldridge, also worked in the department. Guidance services were avail- able to all students, their teachers, and their parents, at all times, according to Mrs. Brown. Counselors did individual counseling with students concerning educational and vocational plans. They also helped with social adjust- ment and personal problems, group guidance, and assisted teachers in working with students. Mrs. Brown said that counsel- ing was one of the most thoroughly rewarding of all careers for the person who is interested in working with other people. It is fascinating to be involved with students as they move through their high school years toward what is hoped to be happy and productive lives, she said.
