;2 v ■• -■•. k V ' ifi Specialists support school ctivities outside the confines of the classroom were dealt with by various other departments and were responsible to the administration. The guidance department, headed by Bro. Joseph Ballard, took care of testing and career counseling. Applications for colleges were in the realm of the guidance counselor so many juniors flocked to the guidance office early in the fall to try to get grants and decide on the college they wanted to attend. The library provides a vital resource center for materials not only for use by individual students, but for teachers in classroom preparation. Audio-visual equipment and materials were also life housed in the library. Miss Charlotte Mil- ler kept the library running, got the books on the shelves, and tried to keep track of the audio-visual equipment and materials. Bro. Jude Costello, along with tutoring chores, also helped in the library. The athletic department was one of the busiest offices in the school. The crea- tion of the new Softball facility brought new jobs to be done and provided new school revenue. Mr. Leo Tierney had his hands full with keeping up with the myriad athletic problems encountered with the advent of busing, the rearrange- ment of football districts, and the drop- ping of spring football. He was always attending meetings. i fg£?n . TOP: MISS CHARLOTTE MILLER: Librarian; En- glish I; NHS Moderator, Crosier Moderator. ABOVE. MR.

Lw$ua$e lab is ait- conditioned Mrs. Rosalie Frame discusses the day ' s lesson with student teacher, Carol Corso. Mrs. Frame taught French I, II, III and Flight moderator. |he language department acquired air- conditioners for the language lab located in Room 101 and was the brainstorm of Mr. Harry Rosado teacher of Spanish and a Latin extraordinaire. Along with the hum of the other electronic equipment, the drone of the air conditioners could be heard on hot after- noons. One could find it hard sometimes to get anyone ' s attention in the lab to answer the door with the students busy listening to tapes over the earphones. Mr. Rosado taught Spanish I to the fresh- men and Spanish II to the sophomores and used the lab as his home base. At times he would let Mrs. Rosalie Frame, who taught French I and French II, and a French III course to the juniors, use it to help the students parlez francaise electronically. One of the highlights of the year for the language department was when sophomores, Keith Eaton and Mike Crow won first and second place in state competition Category A in the national Spanish test. Mr. Rosado made sure everyone on the faculty knew about it he was so proud of them. ' Tfc Presenting the Spanish test certificate to Mike Crow and Keith Eaton is a proud Mr. H arry Rosado. 21 LANGUAGE
