ounselors, Social tudies Teachers Plan For Future During the three years that most students spend at AHS they meet new friends, study under many teachers, and participate in various activities, yet one thing remains constant - their counselors. The counselors administered a variety of tests that were helpful in planning for future occupations. Their aim was that every student would at- tain maximum potential. Their concern, help, and understanding in the forms of programming, per- sonal advice, help with college preparations, or short sessions of just plain talk were appreciated by every Colonist.

Vice-Principals Serve First Year IAMES MCNAMARA BOYS' VICE-PRINCIPAL .4 'U ii - r . gn X ,- 141. .',-i V .N ,ng Moving up from the post of attendance counselor, well-liked James McNamara served his first year as boys' vice-principal. Due to the district expansion program and the retirement of last year's principal McNamara is the only top level administrator re- maining from last year. Male discipline was the major responsibility of the boys' vice-principal, but his duties entailed far more than that one aspect. Campus supervision, parent conferences, classroom visitation, the study of curriculum revision, and the improvement of in- struction were all part of the dean's daily routine. Mr. McNamara also worked to improve the rela- tionships between home and school and planned fire and civil defense drills. GIRLS VICE-PRINCIPAL MISS DANA CHRISTESEN ...L fi -vyh EW 'fu-' sr A -'s resign! 4.125 5 ,g Q 5' Cooperation, friendliness, and harmony on the campus were three reasons Why Miss Dana Christen- sen liked Anaheim High School. According to her, a friendly and well-groomed campus has helped to make AHS a great school. Miss Christensen states that the high standards and traditions at Anahi dur- ing '62-'63 helped bring forth a better teacher-stu- dent relationship as well as inspiring 'a more spirited student body. Her personal conferences kept her in close contact with the immediate needs of all Connies. Although her major activity was establishing girls' discipline, Miss Christensen had many more jobs in- cluding setting up the entire school's daily schedule. She was also Girls' League sponsor, dress board adviser, and was in charge of the oHice staff. 17

Among the most important classes of- Films were one of the methods used in teaching social studies. fered at AHS were those dealing with the social sciences. U.S. history, required of juniors, dealt with the development of our country. American government, a one-semester senior course, gave knowl- edge of governmental and political prac- tices, while senior problems appealed to those whose interests lay in group rela- tions, personalities, and society. To those with individual interests world history, international relations, current affairs, and geography were offered. JAN KARL RATLIFF MRS. PAYE KERN L.
