Mrs. E. M. Green, Assistant Principal, Director of Guidance, and Dean of Girls counsels with student, James Anderson. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Mrs. E. M. Green, Di- rector of Guidance and Dean of Girls, is concerned with en- couraging each student to reach his potentialities academically and socially. The work of the Guidance Department includes helping students solve their problems, planning academic sched- ules, arranging individual conferences with students, admin- istering standardized tests, and providing vocational orientation and advice. Stressing the importance of scholarship and citizenship through assemblies, homeroom discussions, and private conferences has been the major emphasis of this year's activities. In these small offices of the Guidance Department, students may find much information in college catalogues and advisory pamphlets which constitute part of the extensive literature available for self-help. Aside from these activities, busy counselors provide students with both inspiration and consolation. The staff of two full-time guidance counselors and several teachers who work part-time manages to fit any student who needs help into their busy sched- uless

OFFICE PERSONNEL, SCHOOL NURSE PERFORM TASKS CHEERFULLY Principals, teachers, and students all know that the services of the office per- sonnel (pictured on opposite page) are indispensable to smooth operation of our school. Among the multiple duties performed by the capable office staff are handling of correspondence and teachers' records, requisitioning materials, keeping records of student achievement and attendance, preparing transcripts for college-bound seniors, sorting mail, making announcements, and typing notices. Physical fitness plays an important role in student achievement and adjustment. The school nurse serves a vital function in the health program by helping to de- tect those students who may be either physically or mentally ill. Daily tasks of the school nurse include bandaging scratches and wounds, giving out headache sticks, and issuing sick- leave permits. Perhaps her most potent medicines are kindness and sympathy which she prescribes in large doses for those ill at heart. Mrs. L. B. Holloway, school nurse, discovers that even brawny athletes are sometimes ill.
