G IDANCE STAFF Left to right: Mr. Hill, Miss Muntz CChairmanD, Mr. Gilbert, Mrs. Mattera No members of the Bennett faculty are more popular or held in greater esteem by the student body, than are the school Guidance Counselors. Whether confronted by a major problem concerning school curriculum, or just seeking information about college life, a student can readily obtain personal interest and expert advice from Mr. Hill, Miss Muntz, Mrs. Mattera, and Mr. Gilbert. Friends, as well as advisors, the Guidance Counseloris first and last concern is the welfare of every individual student. In an effort to aid pupils in their preparation for the future, the Guidance Oflice sponsors various programs throughout the year dealing with college and vocational planning. The two most notable of these are College Day and Career Day. The former consists of a group of con- ferences in which representatives from various colleges discuss such factors as admittance requirements and edu- cational offerings of their respective schools. The latter is a program whereby leading members of different voca- tions describe the preparatory training, nature, and benents of their work. Both College and Career Day pro- vide an enlightening experience for those pondering over their post-graduate days.

LLOYD A. MILLER Assistant Principal 4 Each year our graduates face new problems and chal- lenges. At this time we see the Russians developing rapidly in the Held of science and we are attempting to solve some of the mysteries of outer space. After a long period of human strife and business development, many countries are feeling the effects of inflation and the beginning of a recession which we hope will be temporary. The basic education you have received at Bennett will help you to develop further your ability to solve new problems. Let these four years not be the end of your education but rather a foundation for your further en- deavors. Your many extra activities and your contacts with teachers and other students have developed your person- ality. This combination of ability and personality will help you achieve success in life. Do the very best you can and your rewards will be great. LLOYD A. MILLER

Mrs. Owen, Miss Shanley OFFICE STAFF The office is the center and coordination point of Bcnnett's many diversihed activities. The staff, under the direction of our extremely capable principal and assistant principal, Mr. Farrar and Mr. Miller, is faced with the awesome task of knowing and recording every- thing that occurs in the school. The eflicient method in which this task is handled may be largely attributed to the department head, Miss Shanley. Not only does she supewise ofhce work in gen- eral, but also directs the selecting and training of office and hall monitors. Miss Shanley is also in charge of homeroom records. If there were a treasurer of Bennett High School, Bliss Biehler would be a likely candidate for the job. All or- ganizational dues, ticket sale proceeds. Beacon subscrip- tion fund, and any other such money Heating around the school must be accounted for by Miss Biehler. She pre- pares the homeroom notices for their daily broadcasting. Mrs. Owen is responsible for the absentee reports and students' excuses, of which there are a great number. The cards sent to the parents once the pupil has reached a certain number of absences is a direct result of her efhcient records. Mrs. Owen handles all permanent record cards. The mountains of mail which enter and leave Bennett each day, are under the personal supervision of Mrs. Schaefer. She also is responsible for sending out applica- tions for jobs, working papers, and any other references and records.
