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

Counselor Ron MacLennan isn ' t restricted to the confines of his office. In the front lobby he talks with Robert Daig about a scheduling mistake. MacLennan says, Helping high school kids gives me a more than satisfied feeling inside. Counselors Mr. John Russell A student ' s life, in three years of high school, can be a hectic one. That same student needs guidance with problems, both personal and social, that may arise. Aside from our special counselors we have six to handle the students divided up according to homerooms. They are: Miss Fay Joseph, Mr. Ron MacLen- nan, Miss Elizabeth Powers, Mr. Ken Seybold, Mr. Charles White- ley and Mr. Ken Wilson. It is their job to see to it that all semester schedules are in order and to make any necessary cor- rections for the benefit of the students. They also help any student, who so desires, to decide upon which vocation would be best suited for him after grad- uation. Our counselors also take on the added responsibility of maintaining a close relationship between the home and school and keep close track of each pupil ' s academic standing with that of the rest of the class. Mr. Marshall Mossman and Mr. John Russell are two special counselors, who are both in charge of the vocational pro- gram at Northwestern. These men set up jobs for senior stu- dents and then keep in touch with students ' progress. 16
