COUNSELING STAFF The guidance department begins the watchful care of incoming students with visits of counselors to the grade schools, and the arranging of a meeting be- tween parents of prospective students and homeroom teachers. Through the next four years, counselors help smooth out all difficulties that arise for the student, both scholastically and socially, keep the recalcitrant in line, and try to find opportunities for the gifted. This year the guidance department brought to the school representatives of many vocations, who met with the seniors in small groups. At these meetings the speakers explained the opportunities available in their par- ticular field of interest. Counselors always consult with class and homeroom teachers, and this year the parents of students at every grade level were invited to come to an evening meeting to meet counselors and homeroom teachers and discuss any of the problems of students. ln the attempt at mutual co-operation and understanding, parents of many of the T949 graduating seniors have Come to Bay View twice this year.

Page Twenty-eight Zin emuriam HENRY C. GILLO The opening days of the school year were saddened for Bay View by the sudden death of Henry C. Gillo, teacher of biology and counselor for the January, 1949 class. He had come to Bay View in 1921. Henry Gillo had a long and distinguished athletic and teaching career. ln his college days he played fullback on the Colgate team and was named by Walter Camp an All- American. Then he had years on professional football teams, coached high school teams, and became one of the first counselors at Bay View. For many years his rare combination of virility with kindness and understanding helped not only plants, but boys and girls to live. His going was an irreparable loss to his many friends and to the school he had served so devotedly.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT THE BOARD-SEMESTER I By the school year i948-49 Student Government at Bay View had proved itself. The skepticism with which the new is often received had changed to general admiration. One small evidence of this change is the fact that a student made a gavel for the organization in addition to his assignments in woodworking. When presenting his handi- work to James Szulczewski, president, Gerald Hurley re- marked, lt was an honor to do something for Student Government. ln accordance with the original plan, the Student Board oversees all the activities ofthe Student Government Associa- tion. The membership ot this includes a representative ot each grade: Lawrence Suhm, senior, Dorothy Severance, iunior, William Galligan, sophomore, and Nancy Walsh, freshman, two members-at-large, James Healy and Dalton Lawrence, and the president of the organization, Ervin Zube. Honor study halls, after two years of operation, have been accepted. Members of the central committee, Joan Van Stelle, Robert Steuck, Philip Wruk, and Florence King, were in charge ot them this year, and worked under the direction of Fred Helmer, the first vice-president of S.G.A.
