Mr. Pack- ard is not only a strict disciplinariang delighted stu- dents, watching his enthusiasm at sports events and other activities, have found that he is interested in all phases of school life. Particularly aware of Washington's influence on Northwood, Mr. Packard gives this advice to students: Since we do reside in the National Capital Metropolitan Area it is most fitting that the 1963 ARROWHEAD Staff focuses its readers' attention on the seat of our gov- ernment. Our proximity to the source of many activities vital to national and in- ternational relationships entails a respon- sibility as well as an advantage. May we always make the best possible use of our easy access to this very important labora- tory of human affairs.

Tecicher of Experience Washington offers many opportunities for learn- ing and to Northwood students this is perhaps the most beneficial of its diverse aspects. As the store- house of the country's knowledge. Washington contains many institutions such as the Library of Congress and IJ. t'. t'entral which house a wealth of information not available elsewhere. At museums like the Lincoln Museum and the Smithsonian In- stitute information on special fields is Collected and displayed. But the advantage which Northwood stu- dents enjoy because of their nearness to Washing- ton is not limited to research. They gain valuable. practical experience by being able both to examine the processes of our government and to observe them in action. Students benefit, too. from their exposure to the Washington newspapers in which national and international news is covered compre- hensively and evaluated objectively. In general, stu- dents at Northwood owe to Washington and its facilities a certain depth in their studies and their wider conception of government and world affairs.
