Specialized Faculty Aides Effectiveness Much of the school efficiency is credited to the North- wood specialized staff. Mrs. Elizabeth Disney, cafeteria manager, and her staff provided nourishing and appetizing meals for the three lunch periods of students. A wide se- lection of lunches were available, including a hot and cold meal and a snack line for assorted sandwiches and inter- esting desserts. Always available in case of an emergency, school nurse Mrs. Audrey Carpenter treated any student with a health problem. She maintained complete student dental and health forms and supervised sight and hearing tests throughout the year. Acting as a major part of Northwood were the librarians Mrs. Julia Ceranton, Mrs. Nina O'NeiI, and assisting library aides. With their expert help, it was made possible for students to check out books, magazines, and reference materials, as well as make use of library typewriters, ditto machines, and also the automatic copier. Among their many jobs, they were responsible for collecting fines for overdue books, ordering new selections, and maintaining order in the library. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Claggett, the North- wood custodial staff devoted many hours to the main- tenance of the building and grounds and general assistance whenever necessary. Additional iobs for Northwood's eval- uation included the painting of lockers and the gym.

School Continuity Counselors Assist In ln the role of advising students, Northwood's counselors strove for a direct communication with both individuals and the student body as a whole. Beginning last spring, counselors informed students of course choices and arranged a master schedule for students and teachers. Throughout the year, they continued to solve schedule problems of students and to provide aid to students seeking advice concerning plans for the future. College counselor Miss Sallie Scott aided those who planned to continue their education in college. Offering advice and judgment, she discussed college choices, scholarship possibili- ties, and entrance tests with students. Aiding the administration in daily school matters, the able secretarial staff performed a multitude of duties in organizing the daily bulletin, printing early departure and absence lists, and maintaining student records.
