Mr. Raymond Morehead — Assistant principal Mr. Raymond Morehead, assistant principal, is proud of Northern!!! Having seen the class of ' 69 be- come the first complete four-year graduating class, he can reflect on the success that Northern has gained. He sees these four years as a period of growth and a time of strong development. He sights the increase of spirit due to more success in athletics, the strong interest shown by groups and or- ganizations, and a general feeling of goodwill among the people at Northern. Mr. Morehead attrib- utes all our success to the students themselves, who he considers a great bunch of kids that seem set apart from others he has known. He praises Northern students for their abilities to be strong individ- uals as well as sturdy cooperative groups. Who should know more about the students than the man who reg- ulates all school activity and comes in contact with every group and organization in the entire school? He is also responsible for student scheduling, special announcements, and recording student report cards.
