Parallel Reading and Pleasurable Side Jaunts Holding the key to research, profound inquir¬ ies, and intellectual reading, the library offered an escape from the drudgery of a study hall. Mrs. Counts and Mrs. English greeted students with an orderly arrangement of books to meet their academic needs. An expanse of fiction books awaited pickup from an interested loi¬ terer. Researchers rejoiced to see a roomful of nonfiction books ready for their inspection. The library was again in charge of an enlarged supply of filmstrips, tapes, and records to sup¬ plement classroom studies. Under the supervi¬ sion of Mrs. Counts, the Audio-Visual Club aid¬ ed the teachers in operating projectors and tape recorders. Something new hit Lewis in the form of the Library Trainee Program. Under this federal project, three adults and seven Youth Corps- men were given training as library aides and received a fee for their services. The library, a source of pride and enjoyment was the center of academic activity and a blessing to leisure time. Library aides Mrs. Glenn and Mrs. Wilson lend much-needed help, and are seen now instructing Robert Simmons and Larry Woolwine.

MRS. EDNA WEEKS MISS MARTHA WADE Sophomore and Junior Guidance Counselor Freshman Guidance Counselor, English and Guidance Staffs “Get It Done” Early in the year, Seniors discovered a gold mine from which they would draw all year. This reservoir of informa¬ tion was the office of Gary Kelly, head of the guidance department. Friendly chats in the hall, as well as more formal conferences, preceded Seniors’ final satisfaction in knowing “what is coming off” for next year. Underclassmen became acquainted with the guidance department through the many efforts of Mrs. Edna Weeks and Miss Martha Wade. Always ready to lend an ear, they were adept at helping students with health and study problems. Administering tests and scheduling students also took much of their time. “Well, you need an English and a math, but what electives do you want? What are your interests? Maybe you should think about the vocational school—” Such remarks were often heard as these counselors sought to guide students ' thoughts. The policy of the department was to help students make their own decisions rather than forcing a decision on them. Their success was evident when students sud¬ denly realized what they really did want. As Students breathed a sigh of relief to have their plans for next year settled, these Trojans were only able to smile and keep working. MR. GARY KELLY Senior Guidance Counselor, Psychology 17
