COUNSELORS ESTABLISH CONTACT WITH STUDENT Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Reynolds, and Mr. Barton, guidance counselors at A.C.H.S. review the day ' s scheduling of freshmen. Students relied heavily on the work done by the guidance department. Seniors especially depended on the guidance counselors for aid in gaining admittance to college. The counselors were in charge of giving the many aptitude tests and helping with the forms for college boards and achievement tests. Much of their time after the first semester was occupied with scheduling the students for courses next year. Students were extremely appreciative of the time and effort that the counselors dedicated to the improvement of guidance facilities at A.C.H.S. Harriet H. Bush Enza Reynolds Mrs. Reynolds helps Gilbert Baker and Bill Nicely with their forms for their college boards. Mr. Barton seems amused at Peggy Persinger ' s reac- tion to a scheduling problem. 16

Miss Peters stifles a laugh at a student ' s reaction to her bulletin board. Last year the A.C.H.S. library added two personnel to its staff to meet the students ' growing needs.
