Without them, no one would be able to find the endless paperwork they file away, respond to the variety of questions they answer, and do the many things that had to be done yesterday . Thank you all for everything you do for us every day . . . Joan Bentley is the force behind the guidance department.

Even though he is rarely seen by the student populace. his decisions touch our lives on a daily basis. H Brezinski R Conners Mr. Conners has been the everpresent authority figure during our formative years. To carry on where Mr. Conners left off, is Mr. Gainor, our guidance counselor. He leads us through our personal and academic crises, and is always more than willing to share his personal experiences with us. 10 M Gainor
