rarely Mrs. Smith, guidance counselor, and Mr. Caudle, assistant principal, find that combined efforts greatly lessen many administrative problems. Fr I22I22I1S'ff'dfIbI2 Qsfe ers Due to the hard work of our administrative staff, the 1968-1969 school year was supervised efficiently and effect- ively. Under the knowledgeable and competent instructions of Mr. Robert L. Garmon, Northwest was able to take great strides toward bettering the student body, the curriculum and the athletic programs. It was also through his leadership that Northwest Cabarrus was accredited by the Southern Associ- ation of Schools and Colleges and the North Carolina State Department of Public Instruction. Mr. Garmon's main concern is the education of every student, yet he readily approves the athletic program, the dramatic activities, the accomplishments of the music depart- ment, and the endeavors of the ICT and D.E. members. Not only does Mr. Garmon keep the school running smoothly but he also manages to find time in his busy schedule to visit classrooms, advise students, and attend all school functions. In the event of Mr. Garmon's absence, Mr. Boyce Caudle, the assistant principal, assumes the responsibilities of heading the administration. Mr. Caudle finds time to help in the office while keeping his own strenuous schedule of teaching, coach- ing, and heading the Athletic Department. Northwest could not function properly without the needed assistance of the school secretary Mrs. Carol Kelly. Her never-ending tasks consist of taking care of business and money matters for the school, keeping track of studentls schedules, relating announcements, and assisting teachers with the copy machines and supplies. It is the hard work and efforts of our fine administrative staff that make it possible for our school to operate smoothly and effectively. Mr. Garmon tackles a serious problem-one of his numerous duties as principal of Northwest Cabarrus.
