Butlerites Getting First-Rate Guidance Right: Mr. Emsley, seen here hunting for a junior's folder, doubles as a boys’ counselor and a senior English teacher. Miss Jaeckle and Bob Bryant work out some details on his applications and transcripts. The Guidance Office at Butler serves two purposes: helping students choose their courses wisely and getting seniors into college. It is the second of these responsibilities which lies mainly in Miss Jaeckle's domain. She is an authority on college entrance problems, and she has helped hundreds of Butler graduates get into places of higher education. Guidance is a coordinated business, however, and four other persons are responsible for this effort: Miss Dennis and Mrs. Bailey who have the girls, and Mr. Farrell and Mr. Emsley who are the boys’ counselors.

Stenography, Typing Sharpened at BHS Under the able instruction of Miss Pomeroy, junior Dennis Gorman develops skill in the fine and difficult art of typing. Business Skills The Business Department here at Butler is composed of five teachers whose main job is to turn out girls prepared for secretarial work. There are usually several graduates who go on to Katherine Gibbs, Berkeley, or some other fine secretarial school. Accounting and business practice are also an important aspect of the training offered by the department. Still another service is offered during the summer for the students whose Palmer method leaves some- thing to be desired — a six week course in typing which is of great value for term papers, weekly themes, and other long, formal work where neatness is of paramount importance.

Math And Science Seminars Complete Fruitful Seasons MARGARET BANTA Douglass College, B.S. Columbia University, A.M. LAWRENCE CHASE Wheaton College, B.A. University of Florida, M. Ed. RICHARD HEMMER Rutgers University, B.S. WALTER MILLER Upsala College, B.B.A. This year the math department continued its semi- nar for credit, providing an opportunity for advanced work to scholastically-minded Butlerites. The seniors, for instance, spent considerable time working on statistics and probability from a college text designed by the College Entrance Examination Board. At the same time, Mr. Carpenter held his science seminar in the cafeteria. Another development in the field of science was the entrance of the math department into the Science Fair. Miss Nielsen supervised the enterprise. Miss Banta reviews law of tangents with her sixth period class. The arithmetic involved in the problems was considerably facilitated by slide rule and log books. DINA NIELSEN Montclair S. C, B.S.
