Administrators Co-orclinate School Efforts Principal Mr. Packard verifies his schedule of appointments with Mrs. Winner. 12 Academics Always interested in the welfare of Northwood, Mr. Packard consistently worked for the betterment of the school, its students, and its faculty. Having received his A.B. Degree from Colorado College and his M.A. from the University of Denver, our principal taught social studies in Denver, Wash- ington, D.C., and Montgomery County before becom- ing an administrator. Mr. Packard finds Northwood's greatest strength to be its strong academic program. His willingness to accept new methods and programs brought many innovations to the curriculum, such as Program Geom- etry, Electricity, and an extension to the Work- Oriented program. He would like to institute a drama department and a better work experience course for those who are not planning to attend college following graduation. Meeting and overcoming the many problems faced by a school principal, Mr. Packard finds the rewards due to a man of his abilities.
