COUNSELORS Guidance helps students to personal satisfaction Some students never consult a counselor in their entire four years of high school. Others frequent that office with annoying regularity. Only a few realize and exploit the true purpose of the guidance services: to clarify and crystalize the student's own aims into a sensible plan for the future. Each class is provided with its particular advisor trained in the field of guidance counseling. By virtue of its enormity, the sophomore class is endowed with two. Both new to Putnam City, they divide the 10th grade alphabetically to insure greater personal contact with those unfamiliar with the ways of high school. Miss Nona Cowan, herself a Putnam graduate, handles the problems of A through K. Inhabiting the adjoining cubicle is Mr. Charles Epperly, who super- vises the well-being of the remainder of the sophomores. Separated in location, but not in purpose, the counse- lors for the upper classes share the aims of their colleagues down the hall. Mr. Hugh Coonfield, better known as the Great White Father, prepares his charges for college or career, while juniors find Mrs. Kidd ever-ready with a bit of sage advice. ADDING another line to the miles written each year, sophomore counselor Mr. Charles Epperly fills in a class admit, ,-nl x .t....+'v JUNIOR Counselor Mrs. Juanita Kidd discovers new problems flow in as quickly as old ones are solved. HELPING to plan a senior s next few years, whether in college or career, is only a portion of a senior counselor's iob, as Mr. Hugh Coonfield well knows. PRACTICE makes perfect, thinks Miss Nona Cowan, one of the sophomore counselors, as she re-writes another schedule. mwtli- 7' N ravi' .EW

SCHOOL BOARD Members spearhead districtis administration Left to right: Mrs. Lee Mason, Messrs. George Dane, Bill Garis, Fred Gray, W. B. Morvvood, Don Greve, and Leo Mayfield. Aiding the superintendent in his administration of the vast Putnam City School district. the school board serves an important, though oft too -little publicized function. Consisting of six members, the board is elected from and by residents of the district. This is done on a staggered basis so that one new member takes a place on the board annually for a five year term. This board shares the responsibility of planning for the district and the management of the 12,000 students and 717 employees of Putnam City. Meeting the first Monday of each month, the board passes on such matters as plans and suggestions for building, financing and management of future expan- sion, the policy and precedure governing the entire system, and maintenance of a qualified and up-to-date personnel. The students and their parents as well owe much to members of the board for making Putnam City one of the outstanding school systems in Oklahoma. PONDERING the additional responsibilities of a new office is Superintendent Leo C. Mayfield.
