It was headed by Mr. Roald Johnson, the principal and chief administrator at WHS. Most of Mr. Johnson's time was devoted to the planning of an effective, current curriculum and the supervision of instruction. Discipline within the classroom wos also a major problem handled by the principal. Twice a week or more, he informed the students over the P.A. system of recent activities and school crises. Mr. Johnsqn's friendly smile and willingness to help will always be admired by the students at Wayzata High.

Mr. Horning found time during ecah day to conduct a World Affairs class and head the Social Studies Department.
