Principals P MR. J. FRANK MALONE Principal The greatest influence at Northwest Classen is its principal, Mr. J. Frank Malone. Never too busy to counsel with an in- dividual, he has earned the lasting respect and admiration of students and teachers alike. Mr. Malone is well-known in educational circles through- out the country as he has held top committee posts in the National Secondary School Principals ' Association and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. He has served as secretary of the state chapter of Secondary School Principals since 1955. At least a dozen civic and pro- fessional groups have appointed him to key committee assign- ments. When this year ' s enrollment exceeded the estimate by about 100, administration was challenged to do extra planning to take care of these additional students. Because of the efficient, coordinated staff organization here, Mr. Malone was able to effect a smooth handling of this increase. This was but one example of the emphasis on team effort which he stresses in his philosophy of school administration. The Malone ' s b.ick yard is a delightful spot where family and friends frequently congre- gate. Mr. and Mrs. Malone share enthusiasm for gardening; rose culture tops the list of Mr. Malone ' s hobbies
