Counselors Continually Busy All day long, students can be seen running in and out of Miss Anna Marie Friedrich’s office. Because she is director of guidance, students come to seek her advice on many subjects. Seniors especially seek her counsel on what to do after high school. Miss Friedrich helps many students find part-time jobs throughout the year, since employers often inform her of job opportunities. She also directs the administration of all aptitude tests in the Astoria Public School System. Besides all these duties, Miss Friedrich finds time to ad¬ vise the Service Club. § Dean of Girls Mrs. Louann Schafer welcomes any girl into her office to discuss any problem.

Kathy Abrahamson, a chemistry student, mixes a solu¬ tion of lead iodide at a known molar concentration. This year’s science courses offered a real challenge to interested students. Besides the required course of biology; biology II, chem¬ istry I, II, and physics were available. Some students were given a chance to assist in science training and practices by being laboratory assistants. Students actually participated in laboratory experiments, making their own observations and drawing their own conclusions from the end results. The equipment available made it possible to learn much from these experi¬ ments. Movies and demonstrations by teach¬ ers also gave students a greater under¬ standing.
