An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man. - Emerson When a capable principal remains in a school for 20 years, the school environment takes on a part of the character of the man. So it was with Nomood High School and Al Geselbracht. His high regard for family has been evident in both his personal iife and his professional life. At home he is a devoted father and husband. At school he worked for unity among staff and among students. His concern for his school family often extended beyond their work at schooi to whatever joys and sorrows they felt in their lives. From his salad days he had the respect of both teachers and students. As he experienced NHS he grew as an administrator. As he grew, the staff and program developed under his leadership. He was the reason that a philosophy of education and a program of education that were to culminate in the new high school began to emerge in 1968. In this effort he played the role of a master teacher ias every compe- tent administrator shouidi and motivated others to see and to work to adopt new ideas for improved high school education. Although he has retired, he has left a legacy to those who follow. He has left a spirit of unity and a program of quality education on which the future of NHS rests.
