KEEPING THE LIBRARY BOOKS in order was done daily by Virginia Perrin, Judy Vig and Laurel Kane. Karen Flim Senior High Library Leon King Librarian Ruth Nelson Senior High Library Remodeled Librar Presents Information Our newly redecorated library with its tile floors and sound absorbent ceiling added to the comfort of many students who made extensive use of the library. Whether it was for reference or just plain reading enjoyment the library was the place to go. At the present time this vast storehouse of know- ledge holds nearly 8,000 books plus an extensive mag- azine service. With the addition of new books the shelves have expanded into the center of the floor on the west end. A new card catalogue, much larger than before, aided anyone in his selection of a book. With patience and with the help of the librarian and his assistants, sophomore, junior and senior English classes were able to use the library to its greatest extent in selection of books, learning the functions of the library and compiling a research paper. Because the library was needed during summer school it was moved into the boys, gymnasium so its former room would be vacant for redecorating. TERM PAPERS ARE EASY with the help of the Readers' Guide, explained Janice Fogel and Marilyn Ferring to Rex Stotts, who seemed in need of help. Page 13

CAREFUL CONSIDERATION regarding the senior high course OBVIOUSLY PLEASED with the progress of the junior to of study she would choose was done by sophomore Judy Ken- whose records they were referring were the junior counselors, nelly with the help of her counselor, Miss Anne Anderson. Stanley Mittelstadt and Miss Gertrude Piers. Guidance Programs Unite Under Director Dale Shuldes, Guidance Director Page 14 Consolidating the counseling program under a single guidance director proved to be an advantageous development this year. Mr. Dale Shuldes was given the position of guidance director, thus relinquishing his former position as physics instructor. Serving under the guidance director were the counselors of Central and Southwest Junior Highs as well as the counselors of Senior High School. The chief purpose of the arrangement was to coor- dinate all of the counseling activities and to improve the counseling techniques. Aiding students in planning their education and improving their scholastic standing constituted the primary purpose of sophomore counselors, Miss Anne Anderson and Mr. Shuldes, and junior counselors, Miss Gertrude Piers and Mr. Stanley Mittlestadt. Senior counselor, Mr. Egil Hovey, helped many students solve their problems of attending college and advised them concerning their vocation. Beginning with the class of 1960, thirteen credits were required for graduation instead of the former twelve credits. Compulsorarily included among these credits were three credits in English, three credits in social studies and one credit in any of the three sciences -biology, chemistry or physics.
