The purposes of a school are not confined to the teaching of the basic subjects. The school nurse provides an education in good health habits and keeps a regularly updated record on each student. One of the most appreciated services in the school is that of the library. It not only provides the reference materials for school work, but also the reading books for those who are interested. The special education department provides an education in basic skills for some students. This course allows some of the students to spend half of the day in school and the other half at a job in the community. The school offers a service to the community as well as to the individual student through drivers' education classes. All of these services are necessary for the welfare of the students and the school. Aides A any JAe 7. )ay MRS. HELEN S. BOURDETTE Library Assistant under E.S.E.A. MISS EDITH HINE R.N.

The purpose of the guidance department of Athens High School is principally to aid the student. College-bound students are aided by the wide variety of college catalogs and bulletins and by individual counseling. The counselors put out bulletins concerning scholarships and scholarship tests, help students with scholastic problems, and help students find part-time jobs. This year the department has been enlarged by the addition of two new counselors, Mrs. Jones and Mr. Riker. Miss Lunger is in charge of the seventh and eighth grades, and holds an instruction period with each class each week. Mrs. Jones works with the problems of ninth and tenth graders. Mr. Riker aids the juniors and seniors. Dr. Bresee supervises the department and works with senior high students. (Juicfes Jjast J ie ( t ossroa cfs CLYDE W. BRESEE B.S. Mansfield State College M.Ed.

MRS. CELIA ARNOLD MRS. MARILYN DEPUE MRS. BARBARA LOMBARD cSuccor The general office secretaries, Mrs. Lombard and Miss Murphy have many jobs. They take care of Mr. Pruyne's secretarial work, take calls on the switchboard, and keep the students' permanent records. But their main concern is with the students themselves. They do everything for the students from settling student insurance claims to keeping club funds and selling athletic tickets. Mrs. Depue is the secretary for the Guidance Department. She makes appointments for the students with the guidance counselors, permits the students to review guidance materials, and handles guidance correspondence. Mr. Marvin's secretaries, Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Robinson, and Mrs. Williams handle business for the entire school district. They take care of accounts payable, administrative letters, and cafeteria business. They are responsible for the payroll. Mrs. Arnold is responsible for the minutes of the Athens Area School District Board of Education. MISS NORRENE MURPHY MRS HELEN ROBINSON MRS. MARGARET WILLIAMS 25
