Meeting the requirements of an ever-growing, ever-demanding world is becoming increasingly diffi- cult. New fields, never known before, are becoming vital and integral parts of our everyday life. Interesting new iobs have been created. Accordingly one must know both his environment and himself. Through counseling, members of the Guidance Staff have helped us to use information about ourselves and about available opportunities so that we could make wise choices, appropriate decisions, and realistic plans. Toward this end also conferences were sched- uled with college and employment representatives. College information and applications were handled with expert care.

Small, Draudt, White. HEALTH Sound health is essential if a student is to benefit fully from the extensive educational opportunities oftered at Hamburg High. Local physicians and the Physical Education Department together aided our Health Department in providing our students with the best possible health protection. The result was an efticient health care program which included immunization clinics, dental care, and hearing and vision tests as an integral part of its procedure. Each student was given a physical check- up, and athletes were thoroughly examined before participating in in- terscholastic contests. Swift and com- petent emergency services were ren- dered in cases of iniury or accident. A better understanding of the responsibili- ties and rewards of home and family life is an important objective of the Homemaking Department. ln Family Living classes, students studied democratic ways and prepared for problems and decisions of personal and social life. Clothing and food groups developed managerial abilities and achieved satisfaction from the creation of attractive garments or appetizing, nutritious meals. Learning through experience is the best preparation for meeting the responsibilities, problems, and demands of society. Varied and valuable remuneration opportunities are avail- able to today's homemaking students. To live rather than to exist is a challenge they are prepared to meet.
