“The primary goal in education is to provide each individual human be- ing with all the opportunities which his potentials permit him to use so that he may achieve personal happi- ness and be most useful to himself and mankind.” Harold W. Giesecke This year, the mathematics department’s loss has been the entire high school’s gain. Mr. Harold W. Giesecke, a mathematics teacher here since 1949 and a counselor since the guidance program was initiated in 1956, has now taken over the prin- cipal’s chair at Arthur Hill. Officially taking office on July first of 1962, Mr. Giesecke’s appointment was disclosed to the students the preceding Janu- ary. Born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on August 8, 1913, Mr. Giesecke obtained a bachelor of science degree from the University of Wisconsin at Mil- waukee in 1939 and his masters degree from De- Paul University in 1957. During his college years he was initiated into Delta Chi Sigma, an honors fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, for national service, and Kappa Delta Phi, a national honors educa- Harold W.

Mr. Giesecke’s teaching career, which began at Bensenville Community High School in Bensen- ville, Illinois, was interrupted by service in the na- vy during World War II. He returned to Bensen- ville in 1946 and in 1949 came to Arthur Hill to serve as head of the mathematics department. Our new principal is a family man with a wife and three daughters. Lisa, 8, attends Handley, Mary is a senior at Arthur Hill, and Paula is now Mrs. Harold Wurtzel. Harold W. Giesecke brings Arthur Hill a fresh outlook as well as a wide background in teach- ing and leadership. We hope that there will be many happy and fulfilling years ahead of him as principal of this school.

Here students seeking advice in making decisions on colleges, careers, and other problems may consult counselors for help. Since more and more students are going to college every year, the counselors are kept busy arrang- ing and supervising testing programs. College and career interviews must also be carefully planned by the student and counselor. Help is given to students and parents alike to assist them in becoming better acquainted with the educa- tional system and its function. The pathway to the future may be made straighter by a few minutes of conscientious planning with one of our counse- lors.
