Counselors Advise, Inform, Schedule In addition to helping students with schedule and di ploma problems, the counselors help us plan our future They arrange college conferences, college and career nights and stock the Browsing Room with catalogues and bro chures. Programs such as student testing are arranged b the counseling staff. Transcripts are sent out to the various colleges and companies with the counselors’ recommenda- tions.

Chaucer, Commas, And Compositions Unusual things are happening these days in senior Eng- lish classes. Some students are learning Greek. Part of a program designed to make students aware of the classical backgrounds of English literature, this training will in- clude reading works by Greek and Roman authors as well as the standard English reading. New also this year is the scries of movies on the Human- ities which are being shown to the senior and junior classes. These movies, which include selections from Hamlet and Our Town, give an idea of what the Humanities are and how to get the most out of the various forms. Creative writing was spurred on by a contest sponsored by Chips. English teachers assigned the eighteen structured compositions required each year, arranged for the revisions, and provided a folder for each student’s work. Students find this very useful not only when taking college boards and fill- ing out college applications, but also in writing for other classes and for the daily demands of written communication.
