The Guidance Department, composed of seven very efficient and dedicated counselors, was headed by Miss Theodora Apostolacus. To avoid the usual crowd of students due to errors, the department instituted a new system of dealing with this upsetting situation. Halfway through each quin, all counselors devoted an entire homeroom period to assure students the benefit of a correct schedule. Also, the counselors could be found diligently working to insure that the seniors would have everything needed for their college acceptances.

Avenues of Communication Broaden 22 Completing his first full year as principal in February. Mr. Haynes faced many administrative challenges associated with the construction. Such problems as the relocation of parking areas, the conversion of the auditorium to a quasi-cafeteria and study hall, and the re-direction of the flow of students due to the limited exits were handled with a minimum of confusion. Another aspect of administrative duty, this year, was the implementation of the Compensatory Education program, which insured the maintenance of certain statewide educational standards. The Student-Faculty Advisory Committee, which acted as a liaison to broaden the avenues of communication among administration, faculty. and students, met periodically throughout the year. Also, the Faculty Advisory Committee had meetings to air such concerns and desires as heightened student discipline and the review' of emergency procedures. Returning from the Junior High was Vice-Principal Mr. Heery who took charge of junior girls and the sophomore class. Vice-Principal Mr. Crotty was responsible for the senior class and junior boys. In addition. Mr. Bozza. former Administrative Intern, assumed the position of Acting Bilingual Coordinator. Pg. 22: Above Annette Saunders stops by on her lunch shift to sav hello to Mr. Heery.
