CHECKING IN around 7 a.m. each morning, Mr. Malone works long hours consulting with teachers, students and patrons. I8 MR. J. FRANK MALONE Principal Administrative Team Keeps Pace With Growth COMPETENT AND ABREAST of the times, NVVC's principal, along with the administrative and counseling staff, worked diligently to keep pace with the ever-growing needs of 3,200 students. A portion of this staff remained on duty i2 months of the year and continued working on enrollment and scheduling from June to September. Thus, the numerous details of clos- ing one year and opening another gave round-the-calendar duties to the front office personnel. Mr. Malone gained recognition for himself, Northwest Classen, and Oklahoma when he was elected to the seven- member national executive committee of the National Sec- ondary School Principals Association at the Chicago conven- tion last year. The only Oklahoman ever selected for this office, Mr. Malone served this year as a consultant for over- seas schools for dependents. THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS have special responsibilities in school administration, however, they function as a team, working with the principal to help formulate school policies, develop new procedures, and help teachers and students with individual problems. All administrators were involved in the teacher-evaluation program. Counselors too, had special assignments. In addition to providing individual counseling, they maintained a strong testing program and supplied college bound students with scholarships and entrance requirement information.
