of Academic Interest In addition to a new building and well-equipped classrooms, a vital part of any well-developed school system are trained, qualified and understanding educators. These must be people with an eye and ear toward the student as an indi- vidual; flexible and ready for any problem that might arise. North- western is fortunate to have just such dedicated, professional people on its staff. Our teachers are backed by degrees from many different colleges and universities, and are themselves well-educated in latest teaching techniques. With such a number of advantages in their favor students are destined to a reward- ing three years at Northwestern. 13

In a rare moment of quiet Dr. Mobley and Administration Seeks Close Ties With Mr. Slooim The success of any organization, no matter what its size, depends, for the most part, on effective administrative policies; but the policies are no more effective than the administration itself. Further, it stands to reason that the administrators must be blessed with the durability and patience to carry them through a typical day at Northwestern. Dr. Jack A. Mobley is a man who possesses these qualities and more. His office is the place for many important decisions throughout any given day. It ' s a known fact that responsibility for all matters of school policies is Dr. Mobley ' s. Because of constant pressures our principal confesses that he couldn ' t do an efficient job without the help of assistant principal, Mr. Donald J. Gaviglio. If there was ever a man who had the talent of being seen in two places at once, Mr. Gaviglio qualifies. Perhaps next in line of student recog- nition would be Mr. Allan Walters, Dean of Students thus in charge of all disciplinary action. What many students don ' t know is that even the teachers of Northwestern have a dean to whom they can turn r help. He is Mr. Wilton Slocu m, Dean of Instruction. Mr. Slocum arranges for any special materials a teacher might need and also provides assistance in preparation of enrichment activities. This brings us to Mrs. Laverne Cox, Northwestern ' s Dean of Counseling. It is Mrs. Cox ' s job to see that all students interested in college are given all the necessary information. She is also in charge of all the programming throughout the year. The general opinion is that this combination of people is the most important of Northwestern ' s winning teams. 14
