If she was left on a deserted island, she would want only a few vital items with her film— and camera equip- ment, paints and paper, a stereo, and, of course, her Jackson Browne albums. Miss Dennehy, Mo to her friends, has been teach- ing at Northwest for four years. She likes teaching in a Catholic high school because she is familiar with the system. She was born in New Britain, Connecticut, went to Saint Thomas Aquinas High School, then to Villanova University in Pennsylvania. After a few teaching jobs, she came to Northwest to teach reading and English. She loves to teach and has found her years at North- west to be a real learning experience. She describes the Northwest community as a special, different one, where the people seem to really care. She also thinks that the kids here are concerned with their education, whether they admit to it or not. Aside from teaching, though, she claims she has a creative desire to fill. She loves art — water colors and sketching — and her favorite color is blue. I have a lot of yellow things in my room, but once I get them, I always wish they were blue. Her real interest, however, is in photography. It is an expression, she says, of lots of different things. What I ' d really like, you know, what my life time goal is, is to be a photographer for Sports Illustrated. She laughed for a minute and then became serious, But then I ' d have to leave Northwest. 1. MRS. ANA BARRETT, Lan- guage Department: Espanol, si, achino? 2. DR.

SR. MARY FAITH GLEELAN, Assistant Principal and Dean of Studies. During our stay at N.W.C., we all have come to know the administration in various ways. Whenever aca- demic concerns arise, we find our way to Sr. Mary Faith. It is Sr. Mary Faith who listens to our complaints and patiently guides us in our educational goals. Without her guidance, students would have dropped courses and made decisions which they would have later regretted. SR. DORIS REGAN, Principal. The principal of Northwest for the past four years, Sr. Doris originally was a Latin teacher here. Now, she is the dominent figure in our com- munity. As principal, she is able to channel the diverse make-up of our school toward the goal of a Christian com- munity. With her guidance, our coming together becomes a reality. MR CHARLES LARSON, Dean of Students. Appointed temporary Dean of Students after the tragic and sudden death of Mr. Johnson, Mr. Larson has assumed the duties with the same skill and care that he brings to his many suc- cessful basketball teams. Enforcing discipline brings Mr. Larson close to students, assisting them with care to work out problems because of his background in the guidance field. Administration 35
