Hundreds of students found a mirac- ulous .alternative in the Student Tutoring ollice. They found that with time and conscientious study under the supervision of a volunteer tutor. they could conquer even the most formidable algebra problems and French verbs. Help was offered in all areas under the guidance of stu- dent eo-heads Gail Lippman and Craig Johnson and fae- ulty adviser Miss Katherine Foss. This door is always left open for those who need a little help. l Ogtleri l 1 nminL spirit ot u oi imc oinson s iriounds het tutee Jim Rubens. with an aura ol' learning. lf2L'tll'lll
