Going to the library to study today? Or to check out a book? With the security system you'd better check that book out or wake every one up with the beeping. Actually the library is a quiet place de- signed for students to study in, get books read fortheir own pleasure, and do big research projects for several classes. ln addition to these many reasons, the li- brary is also where students take refuge to study instead of the noisy cafeteria. The librarians work hard so the library will run smoothly lwith a little help from the student assistantsi. Never forget the famous Shhhh that is said so often to noisy students. One thing about the librar- ians work is that they are often willing to help you if you are stuck or lost in the card catalog. After all the librarians are special and pretty important to our school. P.C., Perception Communication, is what it means if that's what you've been wondering. These classes are designed mainly to help students who have a dis- abilities, or are slow learners. That is stu- dents who have reading, spelling, learning disabilities, or just having problems with words. A student could also be a slow learner in the area of math. These classes are necessary because a learning disabil- ity can hold a student back from making normal progress in school. Fortunately Green Mountain has a program that will enable thoese certain students to try and over come their problem and stay with it. Thanks to classes like these, the dedi- cated teachers who teach them and the the students who learn from them, our school is a better place. Library Aide monitors front desk.

Are the pressures of teenage life get- ting you down? Are you undecided and confused about your life? Do you need someone to talk to and to help you? If so, don't fret, just go to your 'friendly' coun- selor who's just waiting to help. But may- be you think your counselor is not quali- fied to help in everything that is bothering you. If you do, you don't know the Green Mountain counselors very well. Our counselors do about everything one can imagine that has to do with stu- dents and their well being. The counsel- ors work with individuals and their per- sonal andfor academic problems. They set up seminars and programs which deal with problems that are related to almost everyone. They help prepare students for college and their upcoming years in high school. They also inform students of special high school and college programs available. They also make sure you meet the required amount of credits needed for graduation. Plus, they train the up- coming peer counselors.

Mr. l-lix, the sophisticate, himself, age to do this in a single school year is beyond me. One thing that enables them to have time to do these things is the fact that each counselor is assigned to stu- dents in an alphabetical order. This en- ables students an equal amount of time with their counselors and each counselor an equal amount of students. The peer counselors are an extension of the counselors. They are seniors who are special trained by the counselors. This program gives students a chance to talk to counselors in their age category about things they may feel uncomfortable talking about to many adult counselors. The SERS staff is also a group that is always around to help. Their jobs are in their name. So what does SERS mean? Well, for everyone out there who doesnlt know what it means, I will tell you. SERS stands for Special Education Re- lated Services. So remember the counsel- ors and SERS staff when you just need a friend. 11 f 1' if M T ' V ,,,, ,T . 2 ' V' If IVA we ww . we M A 3 Academics , .1
