Vice-Principals Mrs. Helen Hoeksema and Dr. James Snell and Dean of Students Barry Conner found many changes in their duties this year. This’ year, Dr. Snell handled scheduling of students through computer programing, relieving some of the clerical load on fac- ulty members. Prior to the computer pro- graming all of the schedules were done by hand by advisors, counselors and Dr. Snell's office. The computer also handled printing names and classes on report cards. Next year AHS is planning to use another computer in the attendance office. Other changes this year came in disci- ee and attendance duties. Mr. Conner andled only the boys’ discipline and at- tendance, while Mrs. Hoeksema took over the girls’. Mr. Bell and Dr. Snell admire the cover of the Acorn. Dr. Snell reads up on data processing.

Counseling: Study, Work. ane While working with students, counselors con- cerned themselves with educational, vocational, and social guidance. Several tests were administered to AHS stu- dents by the counseling office. These included the SAT for seniors, the PSAT and Senior Math Test for juniors, Lodge-Thorndike Intelligence Tests for sophomores, and three sub-tests given to freshmen to prepare them for their sophomore tests. In addition to these, juniors took the National Merit Tests. Offered again this year was the work- experience program for students who were pre- screened by the counselors. Upon recommenda- tion to employers, the students were given jobs in the labor field. In the afternoons Mr. Allan Whyte counseled at Haight School, while Mr. Ashley Jones con- cerned himself with group counseling in the reading lab. Mrs. Louise Tham, Mrs. Charlotte Howell, and Miss Lucille Di Vecchio taught var- ious classes along with counseling during the day. Mr. Robert Bartley, head counselor, talks to a parent while attending td student programming. Now, what did you do with that record, Mr. Whyte? oe Mrs. Charlotte Howell finds a light moment in the counseling room.
