Guidance Is Responsible for Holding SCOPE Together Although the SCOPE pro- gram ran into a few rough spots in its first year, the number of problems it didn’t run into were overwhelming. York’s guidance department should have been commended for keeping things running as smoothly as they did. It was the responsibility of five people to keep 1495 students from crossing lines and coming up a Va credit short. Besides lin- ing up courses, the members, under Mrs. White as director, somehow found time to help prepare kids for college, take student surveys, and give those awful SAT’s. With one counse- lor per grade, one director, and Mrs. Pippin as the only secre- tary, the department did an excellent job. 1 4 Guidance

Good Librarians Are Not Made Overnight. Research revealed that being a librarian is not as simple as it may appear. York’s two librarians, Mrs. Peggy Buchanan and Mrs. Moul went through quite a bit of study- ing to do what they claim to enjoy most. Mrs. Buchanan went to Radford College then Averett College. She majored in library science and obtained her B.S. in Education. She also took six years of graduate courses in library science and other education courses. Mrs. Moul attended the Missis- sippi State College for Women and majored in math. She received a B.S. degree in math and went on to take twenty-one hours of library courses. Both women said they worked in the library for enjoyment. How- ever, all the know-how in the world was still no good when York’s books, and its bookshelf room did not match. They ordered several new books to accommodate the SCOPE courses and ran into a space problem. The problem was left in their hands. Library

Mrs, Beasley . . . She always came running with ice- pack, stretcher, band-aid or even an occasional aspirin. Somehow, it seemed Mrs, B, was always the one who stayed cool and calm. Well, Mrs, Beasley has been tend- ing to injured students for the past thirteen years. The first four years she worked for the entire county, cover- ing all the high schools and elemen- tary schools as well. On weekends she even worked at the Old Dixie Hospi- tal, Mrs, B, said her main reason for keeping this extremely busy job was that she loves young people and hates to see them get hurt. She has always been a friend to every student at York, and has mended many other things besides broken bones. Clinic
