5 With friendly smiles Miss Ann Abarr and Mrs. Corrine Miller help students get the most from the library's many services. Vital Duties Overseeing the management of Ruskin High School are the special service directors, the office secretaries, the school nurse, and the librarians. The special service directors keep Ruskin functioning in the orderly fashion to which we have become accustomed. This year a new posi- tion was created to handle relations between the home and the school. ln this new position as home-school co-ordinator, Mr. Adcox helps improve these relations. Circulating throughout the office are grade cards, absentee excuses, permanent records, and the daily morning announcements. They would not find their proper destination without the supervision of Mrs. Gfeller, Mrs. Daugherty, and Mrs. Cowler, our efficient offiee secretaries. Miss Ann Abarr, the Ruskin librarian, with the help of two library clerks, Mrs. Lonnie Miller and Mrs. Corrine Miller, keep the library in good working order and help students obtain needed information. wifi' . fizdf.. .Z Mrs. Lonnie Miller designs another colorful display advising students to bone up on books.

Mrs. Margorie Langford, Mr. Ed Johnston, Mr. John Amick, and Mr. Charles Hoskins form the Ruskin coun- selor staff. Mr. Amick spends many hours going over class schedules. Counselors Guiding students toward their future goals is the difficult task of the Ruskin counselors. The future of Ruskin's students is uppermost in every counselor's mind. A new system adopted by Mr. Johnston, Mr. Amick, and Mr. Hoskins assigns each student to a counselor according to alphabet rather than class. These counselors aid students in choosing the courses which will be most beneficial in the years after graduation from high school. The college counselor, Mrs. Langford, gives students vital information on everything per- taining to college, from scholarships to student housing. Giving a wide variety of achievement tests and interpreting their scores is another impor- tant part of each counselor's job. ln addition to school guidance, students take their personal problems to their counselor for help in finding a solution. Without the help of the counseling staff the adjustment to the outside world would be far more difficult. Mr. Hoskins keeps an excited junior on the edge of her chair.
