the Concern of Guidance l 0 T4 Mr. Fegley counsels Stan Shorb as Virginia Taylor looks on. K t e. .J ' is if Our Health Suite Staff: tleft to rightj Mrs. Carroll, Director, School Nursing Service, Miss Higgins, Secretary, Mrs. Estrin, High School Nurse. ll and Infirmary No student could prepare himself for life upon graduating without supple- mentary aid from our guidance depart- ment. Under the capable direction of Mr. Fcgley, Miss Haldeman and Miss Brchm did everything in their power to make the educational future of our seniors more certain. They also guided those who were going into business. During the midterm rush of college ap- plications and other tasks which that pe- riod brings, the guidance counselors did their utmost to give everyone equal atten- tion. An efficient guidance department plays a major part in securing places for gradu- ates in college or positions in the world of commerce. Our guidance counselors de- serve the present respect and future thanks of all Abington seniors. The efficiency of the nursing facilities at Abington was en- hanced by the expansion of the Health Suite. The health services have increased commensurately with the size of the new plant. A secretary, Miss Higgins, is now an active member of the staffg and the number of rooms has in- creased from three to eight. The Health Suite, run by Mrs. Estrin, has been successful in giv- ing free physical and dental exam- inations, and insuring a healthy school to all who attend. Whether it be a hangnail, a sprained ankle, or a case of ap- pendicitis, our nursing staff is alway prepared to help the stu- dent's body.

Government Begins at School World history shows time and time again that good government under ca- pable leadership is the center ol our social circle. Such is the case here at Abington. The school's social lile was centered about our Student Council which represented the students ol Abington in outside affairs as well as affairs and events within the school. As the first student council in the new school's history, this student council had the responsibility ol handling and solving many of the problems and events tangent to opening a new building. Under the guidance ol Miss Clark and the leadership ol Sarah Murray. president: Lloyd Bobb, vice president: Barbara Po- lansky. recording secretary: Indy Goss, corresponding secretary: Fred Iohnston, treasurerg and Iohn Clement, sergeant-at arms, this year's Student Council did a superb job, at the same time emulating the standards ol past councils. No one will forget Student Council Open Houses, to mention one ol their achievements. These gave students a chance to socialize in a manner not possible in the classroom or busy school activities! IAC Dance, Spirit Committee, Dog House. Snack Barg School Store are just some of their numerous projects. Our Student Council is certainly worthy ol merit and it is hoped that luture Councils will maintain the tradition and ideals of good student government. tabovej The Executive Committee of the Student Council left to right, Back Row: V.
