Guidance Sponsors Career Night POND€RING ... Ed Yancey and Libby Donnally think about post- high school plans in the browsing room. hello? . . . Mr. Fuhrman finds that much of his conferring as a guidance counselor goes on over the phone. The Guidance Department helps to meet the ed- cational needs of each student for the present and also for the future. Mr. Hill, head of guidance, Mrs. Cvizic, and Mr. Fuhrman are busy throughout the year with college aptitude testing, conferences with students and parents, and schedule adjustments. Guidance also maintains a browsing room contain- ing information from colleges and trade schools where students can drop in anytime and publishes a newsletter which informs the student body of its activities. In the fall, in co-operation with the Covington Ro- tary Club, guidance sponsored Occupational Career Night. At tables set up in the cafeteria, students could move about and learn about opportunities in a wide range of careers and occupations from people involved in them. The job of counseling the students at CHS may seem overwhelming at times, but with patience and dedication, the counselors strive to adjust each in- dividual student to his or her interests. WELL, I WANT TO . . . Steve Myers discusses his future plans with Mike Collins at the Occupational Career Night, as Mr. Hill looks on. 17

The administration brought about many changes at CHS this year. For the first time, the students were not faced with the grind of mid-term and final exams, abolished by the School Board in the fall. The energy crisis plagued the administrative heads throughout much of the year. In December, a mem- orandum outlining methods of energy conservation was issued. It urged carpooling whenever possible and reminded teachers to turn off classroom lights when they weren ' t needed. When Daylight Savings Time in January made the mornings darker, Superin- tendent James Laughlin advanced the school sched- ule a half hour so students wouldn ' t be going to school in the dark. As always, Supervisor John Heretick was a frequent classroom visitor, suggesting to teachers ways of im- proving their techniques. A new face at CHS was Wilbert Lee, the assistant principal. Equipped with a remodeled office, Mr. Lee assumed his duties, including the organization of the SODA program and the maintenance of discipline. With his assistance, Principal Whitney Trumbo re- newed emphasis on disciplinary action. As in past years, Mr. Trumbo was always willing to listen to the problems of both teachers and students and did his best to offer solutions. 16
