Two new counselors joined the staff this year, Mr. Dale Tramp and Mr. David Flem- ing. Mr. Tramp was a member of the AHS faculty for three years and continued teaching American History part-time. Mr. Fleming took over the counselor position left by Mr. Ripp. Another change in the guidance area this year was the scheduling procedure. For the first time schedule changes were not handled through the administrative offices but completely through the coun- selors. In addition to these changes the guid- ance office distributed a weekly guidance bulletin to each homeroom.
