Row 2: Mrs. Barbara Dearing, Mrs. Louise McCormick, Sharon Parrett, Mrs. Dorothy Stout. Our counselors at Tech direct us toward goals in our personal and school lives. Sometimes the guidance is in our choosing of high school courses, sometimes it is in planning for adult careers. Or this help may come in the form of advice about taking a part-time job, stay- ing in school, or working out personality problems. What- ever the particular need for assistance, Tech students know that there is someone to turn to who is sincerely interested and ready to look for a solution. Testing is a part of guidance, Kuder tests, reading tests, college aptitude and placement tests are only a few of those administered by trained guidance counselors. Mrs. Martha Turpin, Tech's dean of girls, and the girls' counselors are headquartered in the Student Center in the Main, while the boys' dean, Donald Daily, and the boys' counselors have their office in the Arsenal. The guidance counselors are based in the opposite wing on the first floor of the old Arsenal. DEAN OF 5oy5-D,m,ld Daily DEAN OF GIRLS-Mrs. Martha Turpin 9:-WV ' lvl' CF. ,YI 9 I r I 7

me , 1-gy, r-'U' 6 G. Kenneth Barr Audio Visual Director We have nine directors on our campus in charge of the many different divisions and departments involved in coordinating activities of a school the size of Tech. The Guidance Division gives placement and college en- trance tests and counsels with students about scholastic problems. The Audio-Visual Department maintains the public address and film projection systems furnished by the school. Our Athletic Department sponsors all the home and visiting sports. Many people fail to realize that Tech has on campus a free employment agency for students and alumni. This service is provided through the office of the Employment Coordinator. While the stu- dent is still in school, on-the-job training is made availa- ble by the Diversified Cooperative Education Program. Pupils who are not in ordinary learning classifications are entered in the Special Education Division. All of our buildings and campus are maintained by the Shops, Buildings and Grounds Department. The Program Produc- tion Department assists in producing all-school plays, as- semblies, and special entertainment. Its main contribution is the annual Sketchbook. Tech's school paper and the yearbook are the work of the Publications Division.

M! Tw 1.-...,,. SOCIAL SERVICE-Marjorie Lawson, Ruth Dunmeyer, Mrs. Evelyn Kennedy No matter how able a school administration is, someone is needed to take orders and do detail work. This is the specialty of the office staff. They have proved themselves many times by being able to handle with calmness and good humor any problem or emergency that presents itself. In their busy schedule from 8:00 until 4:30 and be- yond, our office assistants are hard at work helping to keep Tech High School in A-plus order. The center of most of this important activity is the Arsenal office where mat- ters of administration, guidance, finance, attendance, school records, curriculum, and building and campus maintenance are conducted. Here are the people who perform a thousand and one duties that affect a Techite's life, from issuing lockers and typing the daily bulletin to readmitting a student to class and giving campus directions to a confused messenger. They dispense assistance, advice, counsel, encour- agement, and often a sympathetic ear to everyone who comes in contact with them, from the principal to the newest freshman. il .
