The testing department has the philos- ophy: A better job of counseling students can be done if the deans, the teachers, the parents, and the students all understand the same educational picture of the student. Miss Vera Baymiller, testing officer, and her assistants provide this picture by giving and explaining results of intelligence tests, achievement and aptitude tests. Test results provide much of the informa- tion needed when advising students as to what subjects to take. They also help to place the students in classes where they get the kind of help they need to strengthen their weaknesses in fundamental skills while following their high school program. Administering the large tests, organizing the grading of the papers, getting the test results to teachers and counselors, and re- cording the test results on permanent stu- dent records are some of the many duties of the testing department, For the past two years the work of col- lege advisor has been efficiently done by Miss Eleanor Longbrake. Her principal duty is keeping up-to-date information on col- leges and universities. This information is given to interested students in different ways: by notices on the bulletin board, by interviews with college representatives and by personal interviews. To aid students in selecting the college best suited to their needs Miss Longbroke has available a col lege outline called Looking Toward Col lege This outline is presented as part of the English course for iuniors Another of the college advisor s duties is having charge of the College Board examinations which many colleges require of entering freshmen Because of her personal interest in each student and her knowledge of higher educa- tion, Miss Longbroke is well suited to this job. Longbroke offers Joyce Jordan some college information.

Vernon R. Alberstett ,U i., ,X Florence Peterson Uwz,1w.4y,deana,wLealwa1p, Qnan, of Emp, As dean of boys, Mr. Alberstett is recog- nized as one of the most important persons in Scott, for to him is intrusted the welfare of every one of our 625 boys, and he has that precious combination of knowledge, industry, kindness, and good judgment which makes him perfect for the job. Mr. Alberstett came to Scott in l945 when he left his post as city supervisor of business education. He has now been at Scott about eight years, and we all agree that Scott has been greatly enriched by his presence. Quan, of 519114. Last September the students of Scott had the privilege of welcoming to our high school the new Dean of Girls Miss Florence Peterson. We were sorry to see our beloved Miss Anne Smead leave, but we were happy to say hello to Miss Peterson. Although this was Miss Peterson's first year as a dean at Scott High School, it was not her first year as a member of the Scott faculty. From i939 to l9-45, Miss Peterson taught girls' physical education classes at Scott. She left us in l945 to become the supervisor of girls' physical education in the city of Toledo. This year we were happy to welcome her back to Scott. ln her first year as dean Miss Peterson has done an excellent job. We compliment her on her good work and hope that she will be with us for many more years.

M iss Vera Baymiller The Scott Parent-Teacher Association is a worthwhile organization which works for the welfare of the school. A tea for homeroom mothers, open house to enable parents to meet their children's teachers and see their work, the Scott Skits and the senior reception are only a few of the many things the P.T.A. does for Scott. In May the P.T.A. sponsored the Music Festival given annually by the music department. The money received from the patrons was turned over to the music department. Each year the P.T.A. awards a scholarship and purchases a gift for the school. ln l95l -52 they gave the electric speed-reader which is used to help students to improve their reading. The P.T.A. has become an important factor in the affairs of Scott and we wish to thank them for all the help they have given to us and our school.
