Guidance Department ,j W, 5 . . s z Mr. James Vincent takes time out from checking over a student CA 39 to smile ior the yearbook photographer. ,H maj ,N - rw w w at BUT I WANT TO BE A GARBAGE COLLECTOR, says Gail Gomley teas- ingly as she looks through college bulle- tins with Mr. Vincent and Mr. Holcombe Got a problem? lf so, Mr. James Vincent or Mr. Howard Holcombe is the man to see. The guidance office is nearly always filled with students seeking advice. One of the primary objectives of the Guidance Department is to strengthen student-faculty rela- tions. The department also attempts to make stu- dents aware of the jobs and requirements existing in each field of interest. Several new policies have spotlighted the year. One of these policies was to give standardized tests during the junior year rather than senior year as before. Thus, the results will be available for use by the counselors. The Merit Scholarship Qualify- ing Test was given in March to the juniors as well. However, it was given on a Saturday so as not to disturb classes. Freshman counseling was also initiated this year, and each freshman was able to talk over his voca- tional plans and his schedule of subjects for his years ahead in high school.

Z its kg -E--75. , I, I Il I KNOW lT'S HERE someplace. New books all have to be sorted and processed. The student librari- ans are working on them during lst period. They are Rita Taber, Ruth Simons, Martha Pifer, Mary Hartsock, Patsy Farber, and Jenny Farris. Librar Adds Over 1100 Books The carpet under every classroomf' best describes the role of the high school library. With books, pam- phlets, periodicals, and pictures, the library seeks to en- rich every classroom teacher with those extra references and materials which make subject-matter more alive and meaningful.. WITH A FRIENDLY SMILE as her trade- mark, Mrs. Della Mitchell can usually be found helping students find materials. Here, also, a student may find materials dealing with fields of his own interests-art, career materials, me- chanics, and even how to build a hot rod. Again, he may just wish to brouse and read a good novel for pleasure. CHS made great strides in improving its library fa- cilities this year. Over 1,100 new books were added, a new pamphlet file installed, more periodicals ordered, a librarianis office established, and an enlarging of the library science course. This enlargement program has been done in an attempt to meet the minimum stan- dards which the North Central Accrediting Association has set down. At present the library contains approxi- mately 3,300 books and must have at least 1,300 more to meet the minimum requirements.
