Counseling Staff Helps In College Careers. Scheduling of classes, decisions of which col- lege to go to, helping students when they need a friend, this is all part of what the Coronado's Counseling Staff does. Under the direction of Mr. George Briner, coordinator of student personnel services, the counseling staff helps to handle problems with scheduling or any other problems that students might have. Not only do they help students with their career, but they also provide support to other staff members in planning and presenting career information. Counselors also pick the students that are eli- gible for scholarships. The biggest part of being a counselor is, helping students decide which col- lege to go to, and which course to major in. Other members on the counseling staff are: Mr. Jake Garcia, Ms. Margaret Power, Ms. Ju- dith Hickey, Mr. Richard McCormick, Mrs. Maureen Otto, Mr. Larry Beavers, Mr. Floyd Rogers and Mrs. Lucky Vialpando. Mrs. Maureen Otto helped out as a work study teacher. l 4 Diane Russell awaits meeting with counselor. fi' f wiv. ,ll gf ai -Li ,. ...... J Does H come before I or vice-versa?

Reading Emphasis Encouraged In Communicative Arts Reading Clinic, Controlled readers and Newspaper Units helped liven up the English curriculum. The Reading Clinic was designed to help students with reading problems with a particu- lar skill or assignment in class, make-up work due to prolonged absence, and to prepare for college entrance exams QACT-SATJ. Heading this Communicative Arts program were Mrs. Bev Diehl and Mrs. Ann Higgins. Controlled readers were used in the reading clinic and the Senior Advanced Skills class. The machines were designed to help students improve reading skills individually. Students im- proved reading skills by trying to read and understand more at a faster speed with the machines. The machines were fun to use as well as being educational. Newspaper units, utilized in the Junior English curriculum, also helped students learn practical reading skills. Newspapers were used as reading material in place of a short story or reading selection. Emphasis was placed on style, content and comprehen- sion. Students also learned the different sections of the paper and some possible practical uses of the information in the news- paper. New faces in the department were Mrs. Jodeen Ducharme and Mr. Jay Klein. Mrs. Betty Boyd continued as department head this year. Students learn reading skills using newspapers. in j r 1 , 4 , ....
