STANLEY WALGREN LILY LAI-ITI Vice Principal Dean oi BUYS Dean of Girls EVA DALANDER LELAND RUSSELL Girls' Counulor Boys' Counselor FAC LTY Dons and Donnas are especially fortu- nate in having an outstanding faculty. Their first wish is always to help students with their problems and encourage them to be more capable and active people upon graduating. They are not just teachers but are real friends of their students. Even after graduating, students often return for advice and a friendly visit. This year two more counselors were add- ed to the counseling staff to provide two counselors for lowerclassrnen and two for upperclassmen. Many kinds of counseling are provided for the students. Tests are given to determine individual abilities and achievement. Movies are supplied through the audio-visual department to enlarge on the methods of teaching. Vocational coun- seling is also given freely. PHYLLIS PETERSEN LOIS 0'CONNOR Secretary Clerk

IIEDICATIU The AKLAN is dedicated this year to a teacher much loved by all her students. This woman has given generously of her time and ingenuity since she came to Acalanes in l942. She goes about her many activities so quietly that people are often not aware that apart from her daily art classes, she is advisor to the CSF., Acalhonors and stage crew groups. Her art department is almost perpetually busy with art work for dances, campaigns, plays or almost any affair at school or in the community, She is a favorite with all who know her because of her cheer- ful and patient disposition, liberal mind and gentle sense of humor which make her unforgettable. lt is with great pleasure that we dedicate the 1949 AKLAN to Vera Richardson.
