GUIDANCE assumes chores of scheduling, tests Let ' s see; if we move sixth period here and first period there, or should it be fourth here and fifth there ... Schedule changes were just one of the routines the members of the Guidance Department performed. In addition, they supervised the Differential Apti- tude Test, PSAT, and National Merit Test. When these test scores returned, it was the job of the three counselors to help students and parents in interpret- ing these scores. The Guidance Depart- ment was also responsible for the IBM report cards. Acollege and career orien- tation program was one of the new objectives that was accompi ished. For this, students began in their junior year to make college and job preparation. : [a % WITH A B.A. degree from Oklahoma City University and a M.Ed. from the College of William and Mary, Mrs. Eleanor Rich counsels both sophomores ond juniors, (top center) Eighth ond ninth grade guidance counselor, Mr. Benn Griffin, coaches varsity basketball; he has a B.A. degree from the Norfolk College of William and Mary, (top right) With a B.A. degree from the University of North Carolina and a M.Ed. degree from the College of William and Mary, Mrs. Joan Hall is Guidance Director and senior counselor, (bottom) Discussing permanent records with students, Mrs. Rich counsels two advice- seekers on scheduling. 19

microfilm magazines— newest acquisition to LIBRARY facilities Microfilm magazines enlivened student interest in past periodicals. The acqui- sition of three microfilm readers and microfilms of magazines through 1 960 was the newest addition to our library. Required research in magazines be- came less of a ' chore to students. Term paper writers soon appreciated Miss Gibb ' s overnight lending system and her term paper schedule to prevent overcrowding. The addition of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Woman ' s Wear Daily brought more interested readers to the news- paper stacks, thus finding new ways to serve all.

ENGLISH students experience flurry of term papers, book reports Continuing its stress upon literature, the English Department again pro- ceeded to give each student a funda- mental knowledge of our literary heritage through classwork and indi- vidual reading, not forgetting, however, the importance of grammar. With “activities including term papers, monthly book reports, a variety of films and records, stimulating classroom discussions, and an endless number of expository essays, students found that maintaining a state of idleness was virtually impossible.
