Dr. Nathaniel Bennett and Mrs. Anna Cole- man, our doctor and nurse, keep us students physically fit. Although they may not give in- ternal medication, they apply first aid and treat minor cuts. 14 Our capable and efficient secretaries in 105, Miss Stone and Mrs. Sheenan, perform many important services for Classical. They are in charge of supplies; they work on report cards; and they keep the files containing the scholas- tic records of all students in perfect order. They also assist Dr. Chatto in filling out col- lege transcripts and employment applications. Competent and hard-working Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Fitzgerald, the secretaries in our main office, are always on hand ready to help anyone who is troubled. Their numerous du- ties include the preparation of the daily bulle- tin, the issuance of passes and tardy slips, and the approval of early dismissals.

GUIDANCE COUNSELORS One of the most heartening factors to every student in his battle to gain an education is the knowledge that the doors of the guidance counselors are always open. Mrs. Bemis and Mr. Finn aid every student from the time he picks his Freshman courses until he decides upon his college. They obtain summer em- ployment and after-school jobs for the pupils; they help them with any aca- demic or social problems; and with their knowledge of each individual’s char- acter and capabilities, they interpret aptitude tests to determine in what field of endeavor he would best advance. The Boston University test, taken during the junior year, determines the students’ ability in such fields as: reading comprehension, space relations, bookkeeping, vocabulary, and geometry. Mr. William Finn and Mrs. Charles J. Rigali discuss her son’s ratings. wn As part of the guidance department, representatives of numerous colleges speak to us about their college. Mary E. Gugliuzza, assistant director at Union University, talks to Elaine Arm- strong, Sue Keuhn, Mrs. Dorothy Bemis, Constance Smith, Sheila Leider, and Patricia Albano about careers in nursing. 13
