High Guidance Student Services Two of the most influential departments in the Mars High educational system are those operated by out li- brarians and counselors. The library services, under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Leicht and Mrs. Louise Benjamin, offer a wide range of instructional materials. The constantly ex- panding facilities of the library make it one of the best in the area. Here, many-a-student may be found doing research, reading a magazine, or concentrating on a novel. The senior high guidance department, headed by Mr. james Duerr, helps the upperclassmen with the all-important job of planning their post-high school education. Mr. Duerr also administers aptitude, intelli- gence, and achievement tests throughout the year, con- ducts interviews with each student, and directs schedul- ing. Mr. Gerald Dambach, junior high guidance counsel- or, manages the affairs of the younger students. He as- sists them with scheduling, aids them in discovering and developing their abilities, and presents talks to each individual grade on topics of interest to them. The services provided by these departments consti- tute a major part of a high school education. Without them, students would not be able to successfully evalu- ate themselves. For eflicient operation of our school system, the Student Services are invaluable. Mr. Dambacb and Mr, Duerr in the counxeling mite. 23

The system employed at Mats High requests students to schedule their choice of a language in their freshman year. The three languages presently offered are French, Latin, and Spanish. French, now a more widely-spoken and predominant language, is a four-year study taught by Mrs. Adelaide McLaughlin, whom herself has traveled and studied in France. Her students organized and participated in various extracurricular activities in order to increase their knowledge and understanding of the French language. The Latin language is often referred to as the IN MRS.

Not only are her pupils taught the basics of Latin grammar and vocabu- lary, but they are also acquainted with ancient Roman culture and customs as well. Also olfered for four years is Spanish, taught by Mrs. Anne Ferguson. Again, in addition to learning to speak the language, students come to appreciate and understand the wealth of the Spanish culture. Mr. James Charlton, the Special Education teacher, works diligently and patiently with his students at all times, preparing them by various educational devices, for a better and brighter future. can be bumoarautr.

General business, business arith- metic, and typing form the background for later, more difiicult subjects. In his junior year the future business leader may take business law, typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand. By the time he is a senior, the student is prepared for his step into the business world by ex- panding his skills in the subjects taken in his junior course and ollice practice, in which the student learns to use the mimeograph, the adding machine, and the electric typewriter. Worthy girls planning to be secre- taries are chosen by the instructors to work at local businesses, gaining valuable experience which they will use later. This year a new business course was added: distri- butive education. Taught by Mr. Skurcenski, the sub- ject included the basics of buying and selling and on- the-job experience. MR.
