Guidance Mr. Eye counsels Vicki Miller. Mr. Walter Eye An indispensable part of the high school faculty is located in two small rooms off the main office where students seek information and answers to the problems they encounter in high school. Specific functions of the guidance department include preparations for PSAT (Preliminary College Boards), and ACT (American College Tests), and SAT (College Boards).

English Mrs. Funkhouser’s English Literature bulletin board displays talent. Mrs. Barbara Driver All students are familiar with English classes, as they are required every year. It is in these classes that a student learns to use his native language effectively. In earlier years pupils cover principles of grammar and literature in general. The eleventh grade studies include a continu¬ ation of grammar and a deeper exploration of American literature. Senior English classes read and analyze the English classics by such authors as Chaucer and Shakespeare. The Creative English class teaches better self expression. As part of the class, students prepare and publish The Green Quill and distribute it to the student body. Never read any book that is not a year old.’’ Emerson 14
