Guidance Is Groovy By H. Gibson Whether a student is an eighth grader entering high school or a senior leaving high school, he relies heavily on the advice offered to him by the guidance counselors. Countless hours are spent by the three members of the A.C.H.S. guidance department who must update permanent records, administer academic, vocational, and aptitude tests, aid seniors in making decisions regarding the future, and work with each student individually in preparing his next course of study. Each student at Alleghany appreciates the guidance counselors who take infinite pains in finding the solutions to student problems. Nora K. O ' Farrell Timothy Barton Mr. Barton helps Linda Riley decide upon an appropiate schedule. Mrs. Reynolds prepares a college transcript for Nancy Burr. 17

Office Workers Assist Administration Many large and small administrative duties that are often overlooked by the student body are performed by the sec- retaries and office staff of A.C.H.S. Mrs. McCaleb and Mrs. Snead com- petently direct the activities demanded of the office. At the same time, a limited number of students are given the opportunity to aid the secretaries and gain knowledge of office practices. These groups work together to compile data, take messages, operate the book- store, and perform numerous other tasks that keep the student body in- formed. Without the dedication of the office help, there would be a lack of organiza- tion resulting in utter chaos within the walls of Alleghany County High School. Mrs. McCaleb and Mrs. Snead share the responsibilities involved in the efficient operation of office duties. s E C R E T A R I E S Mrs. Dora McCaleb Mrs. Ellen Snead As members of the office staff, Mary Stinnett, Cary Reid, Allan Broughman, Ronnie Bennett, Jane Kern, Kay Basham, Jan Shawver, Evelyn Fridley, and Diane Dunford gain valuable experiences in office management. 16
