HELEN E. ROBINSON HENRY C. MEENTS KENNETH BURKHOLDER Faculty Corps of Sixty Cooperates in Administration Conscious of the four year time limit which they must meet in preparing high school stu- dents for adult life, the administrative offi- cers and teaching staff of North High School devote their energy and time to making every minute of those four years worthwhile. The hours Henry C. Meents spends as principal planning and promoting the curriculum and activities of the school can not be counted. Nor can a record be made of the time he gives to the students, the teachers, and the parents as their friend and counselor. Assisting Mr. Meents in directing the af- fairs of the school are Kenneth Burkholder and Miss Helen E. Robinson. Mr. Burkholder's time is completely used up with the duties and responsibilities of three offices-assistant principal, dean of boys, and athletic director. Despite the demands made upon his time, Mr. Burkholder is never too busy to lend his sup- port to any student activity. Dean Teaches Moth Miss Robinson takes one period each day to teach a mathematics class in order to be- come better acquainted with more of the stu- dent body. As dean of girls her contacts are limited to the girls, yet she has an active and real interest in the boys, too. Her services in promoting extra-curricular activities or se- curing scholarships are in constant demand. As assistant dean of girls, Miss Lucy Harte, helps to ease the load on Miss Robinson's shoulders. If students have either personal or program problems which require immediate assistance, counselors are available for the boys and girls in each class. This year the counselors were: Miss Robinson and Mr. Burkholder, seniors, Miss Maude Poley and Mrs. Ruth Forbes, jun- iors, Mrs. Louise Sutton and Nathan Mohar, sophomores, and Martin Ekberg and Miss Harte, freshmen. Barrett Supervises Seniors When Miss Ruth Barrett is free from her history classes, her time is filled with plans and activities which she supervises for the seniors each year. She is the permanent se- nior class sponsor, but each year receives as- sistance from other teachers in carrying out the busy senior activity schedule. Every teacher has some duty or responsi- bility which requires her attention after school hours. Every club meeting, every program, every athletic event, means that one or more teachers are giving their time for a student activity beyond the demands of their class- room and preparation periods. The teachers willingly give their time when it benefits North High School and its student body.
