This change was long overdue because Morningside had already been officially annexed to Edina for about a year. Next to the bright new letters, the old front doors were also replaced During the summer.

Although the price per lunch had been raised from 25 cents to 30 cents in late October less than a year before. a greater increase was necessary because of higher food prices and lower surplus availability. A special duty policeman prevented traffic jams by adjusting the manual controls of the signal light on the corner of Southvicw Lane and Normandale Avenue before and after school. This was the first year such an officer was necessary to help buses leave the high school rapidly and thus remain on schedule.

Counselors Copying Machine Makes Information About Post-High School Planning More Easily Accessible to Students A new thcrmofax copying machine, called The Secretary , was installed in the second floor counseling office. By inserting a sheet that summarized the catalogue of a particular college, students could obtain a copy of it almost immediately. Another machine which helped seniors in their college decisions was the college entrance viewdeck. B adding coded cards, such as engineering program or western United States. students could see which lights remained on the viewdeck and have those numbers decor led to give the names of various suitable colleges. Three major trends in educational planning were evident to counselors at Kdina High. First of all. there seemed to l e an intense and serious interest by juniors in post-high school planning. Secondly. more interest in public junior and four-year colleges was shown by our students. Finally, more parents and students recognized the many opportunities for post-high school training in vocational, technical. trade, business, and secretarial schools, rather than in more traditional formal academic training. 26 I ooking ahead In college plain.
