dministration To rule is human, To direct is divine. SOME BELIEFS ABOUT OUR SCHOOL The outstanding secondary schools of our nation have a program planned to meet the needs of all youth. The program of Northwest Classen does this in a very fine way. Ours is outstanding in mathematics, science, English, social studies, business education, foreign languages, industrial arts, art, music, speech, and student activities. lt is our belief that requirements be high scholastically, knowing that seventy-five to eighty percent of our graduates enter college. Therefore, our major emphasis is to prepare them for higher education. With so much emphasis being placed on science and mathematics, our programs in these fields have im- proved but we must continue to stress the importance of the arts and humanities and provide a program which will meet the needs of all youth. fi M W J. Frank Malone, Principal Principal Northwest Classen Northwest Classen High School Officers and Delegates of Parent- Teacher-Student Association meet with Mr. Malone to plan the year's activities. The theme for this year's program is KEYS TO TO- MORROW. The future, our tomor- row, is like unto a castle of many rooms, rich with treasures. ln uni- son we can fashion the proper keys.

Faculty-Curriculum WITHOUT THE HUMANITIES we'd be unaware of the current fads,-say sack dresses, styles for outer space apparel, and that the world is not so much concerned with what we can do with science but can civilization survive? History makes us aware that other civilizations and cultures have not. lt's the humanities problem to encourage aims other than those of war and conquest. Man's in- terest in outer space is good only if it adds to the welfare ofall mankind. HISTORY KEEPS RECORD OF MAN'S MOR- AL PROGRESS. Literature accounts for his spiritual and cultural achievements. lt is through apprecia- tion and understanding ot these subjects that man's scientific knowledge may build ci new Golden Age. HUMAN VALUES ARE BEST taught through a creative approach. These values are the con- stant gains every generation must learn. The ulti- mate goal in a democracy is to enable each per- son to be a contributing factor to society. WORLD UNDERSTANDING MUST HAVE A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE,-music, art, literature, moral standards. These communication mediums will prompt man to control his scientific creations. Man will master his environment it he will develop his capacities. Man's imagination rnust be bold but it must be wise in the basic laws of man's behavior toward men. YES, THERE ARE MANY NEW GADGETS. But when Johnny has a problem he does not talk it over with the TV set. When Susie doesn't swing that very special date she still comes for consolation to her beloved teacher friend. Sure, the average teacher looks dull when compared to the video folk. But if teach were a slick TV chick, she wouldn't hang around to see that Johnny learned how to think straight and be- Miss Ophelia Byars' class was selected to be a team class sponsored by the Ford Foundation. Three teachers conduct class, each caring for various projects. The team-approach was introduced at Northwest Classen this year. Groups work by project method. Larger enrollments are more easily handled in this manner. V , . . gp.. ,..f , .... ,L .- .ff.. t..f,...mM
