MR. M. WAYNE McKANNA Principal Northeast is extremely fortunate in having as its administrator a man such as Mr. McKanna, whose interest in and knowledge of all phases of Northeast life make him well-qualified to cope with those many little (and big) problems that are somehow continually arising. Through his efforts, Northeast students were given the opportunity to join with those of Glcnnon High School in forming a Northeast Youth Community Council which, in turn, set up a Northeast Youth Traffic Court. Mr. McKanna enjoys gardening, woodwork, traveling, and of course all sports activities in which the talents of Northeast’s superb athletes are demonstrated. Because of his wise assistance in their problems, his sincere interest in their achievements, and his loyal support of their activities, the Nor’easters join in ex- pressing to Mr. M. Wayne McKanna a big, hearty “Thanks!” 6
