What is the role of the counselor in a college- preparatory school such as Classical? His primary function is to help the often-bewildered student successfully through four years of high school, helping him to make sensible decisions. Since he keeps records of the stuclent's successes and fail- ures, he can offer assistance on elective choices, and on selection of colleges at the end of the junior year. He can also help the student interpret the re- sults of the many tests that he must take while mak- ing application to college. The Guidance Department has an open-door pol- icy for parents and college representatives. Parents are invited to have a conference with the counselor when the need arises, sometimes the counselor will initiate the conference. ln order to keep informed about college admis- sions policies, Miss Mary McKay, the Department head, accepts all requests from colleges to let their representatives, about fifty a year, visit Classical. Whenever it is feasible, candidates are allowed to meet these representatives, a schedule of their visits is posted in advance. Since the development of social graces is impor- tant in the development of a well-balanced person, the counselors assist the class officers in planning the class dances and the senior class supper.

Both these ancient languages have much to recommend them: the highly organized nature of both provides in- sight into the basic grammatical structure of lan- guageg a substantial fraction of English vocabulary stems from bothg and even more significant, some of the world's greatest literature is written in either Greek or Latin. It is a privilege to have an opportunity at Classi- cal to study Latin for four years and Greek for three years. Thus the student observes that no civil- izations have had a greater influence on Western culture than those of Greece and Rome. ANGELO MURCHELANO Brown University, A.M.

Since Sputnik I went into orbit in the fall of ' as - 1957, the United States has been striving to improve the standards of its high school science e.'e .. curricula. ln keeping with this policy, Science Department Head Mr. John F. Lafferty has fur- nished Classical with the most modern courses. The Classical student is required to take a year of either PSSC physics, CBA chemistry, or BSCS biology. If he does well, he may con- tinue by taking a semester of either college- level advanced physics or of college-level ad- vanced chemistry.
