guidance assists all students Aiming to aid every student, no matter what his future plans might be, the guidance counselors set into motion a series of projects: the introduction of Educational Opportunity Night; the giving of standardized tests; and the handling of school computerization. With use of guidance aides, the grouping of cata- logs by locale, and the setting up of a coun- seling room, the guidance personnel were able to serve students to a better advantage than ever before.

10,000 additional books, unprecedented carpeted study area make library “newest room ’ One of the most conspicuous changes made at Churchland was the appearance of the library. All previously-owned hooks hav- ing been taken by Chesapeake, the library immediately began a massive rebuilding pro- gram. This included the purchasing of over ten thousand new hooks ( an increase of two thousand volumes), entirely new visual aids, and the doubling of available space and seat- ing capacity by incorporating an adjoining classroom for visual aids facilities. An un- precedented carpeted study area enabled Trucker hookworms to meditate in “luxuri- ous” surroundings and added a bit of at- mosphere to the entire school.
