DEAN OF GIRLS FOCUSES HER INTEREST ON BUILDING CHARACTER STRENGTHENING OUR LIVES WITH GUIDANCE Through the years our ultimate objective has remained before us --to excel. Thinking over the past, the road over which we have at last ascended, we must consider the remaining portion. As we consider this remaining portion, we must continue to cling, as previously, to the in- valuable information which has been imparted to us by our Guidance Director, Mrs. E. M. Green. Barry Lockett, a senior, pays visit to Mrs. Green for wise counseling concern- ing college requirements and personal achievements. In a new and purposeful period of intel- lectual growth, students have been aided by guidance in their adjustment to the many expectations of a changing society and world. Mrs. Effie M. Green, Assistant Princi- pal and Dean of Girls, confers with hun- dreds of students weekly in an effort to help them adjust to school life, solve prob- lems, and answer the many questions which plague the adolescent mind. Admin- istering test and keeping student records are additional guidance duties which must be performed by Mrs. Green. Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek my guidance. 5

STUDENTS FOLLOW GOOD LEADERSHIP MISS MABLE SMITH Under the sponsorship of Miss Mable Smith, the Student Council of Huntington High School has reached new dimensions. Truly the organization has become an active and dynamic liaison between the student body and the administration; it is a leader in the Peninsula and State organi- zations. Many of the local and state offi- cers have been products of our Council and we have been represented on panels at the national level. Miss Smith's foresight in organizing Leadership Classes has served to train 17 large numbers of students to assume offices in the school and the community. As a student body, we say thank you, Miss Smith, for your role in aiding us to attain higher scholastic and ethical standards, and a greater and keener appre- ciation for cultural activities and last, in aiding us to equip ourselves to take our places in a democratic society. Your versatility, your creativity, your indefatigability and your inspirational guidance will remain to us a joy forever.
