HELPING TO PLAN OUR FUTURES The Counselors this year spent a lot of time working with students and helping them to make plans for their futures after graduation. The goal was to talk to each student at least once during the year. During these conferences students were informed of what courses were needed to meet graduation requirements. The counselors were also interested in helping students continue their educations through college or vocational school. Students were advised about selecting courses that would be necessary for admission to the college of their choice. College catalogues and applications were made available to students and throughout the year college representatives were on campus to talk to interested students. Mr. Harris was job placement counselor and he assisted students in finding and selecting jobs that would best suit them. UPPER: Mr. Harris works on fob applications. ABOVE: Mrs. Hollo well.

YOU HAVE TO LOVE KIDS Mrs. Barrett, the nurse at Jenkins, was with us again for the second year. The problems she faced daily were stomach aches, headaches, minor injuries, tendencies to goof-off and problems of ninth graders trying to adjust. Mrs. Barrett also conducted the vision, hearing, and blood pressure tests for students. Previously she had worked in a doctor’s office, but this was her fifth year as a school nurse. Mrs. Barrett said, “You have to love kids to do it.” Her philosopy was to be prepared for anything. Mrs. Barrett spent her leisure time with her hobbies: music and cooking. The satisfaction of reaching one or two students during the year made Mrs. Barrett feel her job was well done. UPPER: Mrs. Barrett bandages a hurt student. ABOVE: Mr. Crosby.

The cafeteria at HVJ served about five hundred and ten hot lunches every day. Ms. Kaigler, the director, and her eight co-workers offered four complete menus to students. There was also a diet lunch for those students attempting to trim down. Ms. Kaigler and her staff began at 7:00 in the morning to prepare for the mid-day rush. They worked until the cooking and cleaning up had been completed. Ms. Kaigler said that the work was not difficult but the process was long and tedious. During the year the cafeteria served everything from peas to pizza at a moderate price. Extra milk was available for those with a hearty appetite. Ms. Kaigler and her crew were much appreciated when it came to stopping the Warriors’ hunger pains. CALORIE COUNTER? UPPER: The line to happiness!
