BCCJKSTDRE Mrs. Clara Tanner and Mrs. Annalee Moore managed West's bookstore, which offered everything from five cent erasers to ten dollar books. Mountains of school supplies went from the bookstore to the students: books, pencils, paper, lockers, rentals and fees for special classes, and numerous small - but necessary - materials. When the bookstore wasn't open to students, Mrs. Tanner and Mrs. Moore handled club requisitions, school insurance, caps and gowns for seniors, and financial records for all clubs.

Flexible scheduling led to more work for all - more food to buy and prepare, more students to plan for. A new snack bar line inside the cafeteria helped speed up all the snack bar activities and also prevented some damp students on rainy days. Despite the heavy load, the hard- working cafeteria staff, directed by Mrs. Ann Donahue, kept West's cafeteria running smoothly. ADMINISTRATION 23

Mr. John Schoolland Head Counselor The counselors began their work for the '66-'67 school year in the spring of 1966. They contacted eighth graders from all the grade schools in the West district for enrollment in high school. Working with the same students throughout the year, the counselors helped each student think for himself in choosing his classes and achieving to the best of his ability. The counselors gave and interpreted tests, explained college entrance requirements, helped with job placements, made scholarship recommendations, and helped students work out their individual problems. Always interested in their stu- dents, counselors - in addition to their guidance work - sponsored clubs, councils, and other extra-curricular activi- ties.

HEALTH CENTER West's casualties, major and minor, all passed through the door of Mrs. Laura Scofield's office. Students who felt ill were either permitted to go home or to rest on one of the beds in the nurse's office. All manner of aches and pains resulting from a rough game in P.E., falling down the stairs, or just tripping over feet were treated by her. In addition to the daily illness, Mrs. Scofield processed phy sicals, reported disabilities, tested hearing and vision and handled all P.E. excuses. Throughout the year, Mrs Scofield's presence assured students that there would always be someone interested in their health at West
