(guidance Staff Proves Jadispensable How many students leaving Terry Sanford High School could claim that they had had no contact whatsoever with the guidance de- partment during their stay? It would be safe to say that the number would be virtually nil. In the course of a school year, all students — seniors, juniors, and even sophomores have need of the guidance department. Behind the scene work includes schedule planning for all students. The staff also has the responsibility of administering various tests and recording the results in each student’s per- sonal file. Of course, the primary function of the staff is assisting students in selecting the right col- lege or vocation after graduation. The staff busy themselves on endless transcripts and recommendations. In addition, individual guid- ance and counseling are available to any stu- dent. College catalogs, vocational brochures, year- books from various colleges, and scholarship bulletins line the shelves of the guidance of- fice. Seldom is this room empty as it is open to students for browsing throughout the school day. Mrs. Livermore pauses from work on a student’s college transcript, one of her many duties as chairman of the guidance department. MRS. ETHELYN M. MR. DONALD R. MRS. SARA W.

Through exercises, team and individual sports, students get part of the physical ex- ercise they need to stay healthy, strong, and physically fit. Physical education classes also study the rules of certain sports and put them to use as these sports are taken up. The better understanding of the game gained from this helps the student to become more proficient in participating in the sport. Varsity, junior varsity, and intramural teams offer the chance for students to use the skills acquired in gym class. More skilled athletes compete on varsity and junior varsity teams against other North Carolina teams. A well- planned intramural program has been at F.T.S. so that any person may compete in athletics. Under the direction of Mr. Maness, this pro- gram has created great enthusiasm for inter- school competition in sports. Mrs. Battaglia demonstrates how to get a proper grip on the basketball to Jolynn Edwards while the other girls watch carefully. 47
