Years of teaching experience and a special training course qualifies these guidance experts for their demanding job. The start of each semester brings weeks of hectic work in order to get every student settled in the proper classes. Yet with careful planning weeks before, schedule changes still occur. Counselors have more than enough paper work to occupy their time. But with the capable help of the office secretaries, who are each assigned to a counselor as a part of their duties, routine tasks are taken care of. This leaves time for counselors to talk over problems with both stu- dents and parents which is the most important part of their job.

Schumacher, our principal, pondered over ideas and developed them into a more complete and rewarding educational program this year. Beginning with adjustments in the study hall policy, students found that confusion was lessened in study halls since lunch people were scheduled to assemble in the auditorium. Also, early students no longer needed to wait in the corridors. Study Hall 106 was the destination for these early comers. Mr. Schumacher continued to talk to student assemblies of several matters of concern to all, among which was one that expressed the importance of student individuality and personality throughout school and career. Codyscope was a significant display of academic stimulation this year. Considerable planning and preparation by a faculty committee insured an auspicious exposition. Not only did this academic fair demonstrate the many interests and talents of Cody students but it developed a more appreciative understanding for parents of the opportunities and values which Cody offers.

Informal conferences with parents enables Mrs. Emily Stern to discuss a student's progress and assist in helping to straighten out student problems. School enrollments present many puzzling problems. Mrs. Laughner attends to these bewildering details through orientation and explanation as she aids enrolling students in the school library.
