Theq Make Learning More Fun In every department the subjects become more vivid when the student is able to see and hear graphic embodiments of his studies. Through the many devices of the audio-visual department classes are enabled to see their field being applied in industry, services, and community life throughout the world. No longer limited by the materials readily ac¬ cessible to the individual teacher, the learn¬ ing process has been expanded and broad¬ ened to include heretofore unavailable equip¬ ment. Films, the overhead projector, tape record¬ ers, slide projectors, television, and the new language laboratory have facilitated the study of every subject, whether it be aca¬ demic, commercial, or general. Eager students have found the lessons easier to grasp, and those who must be prodded enjoyed the enter¬ taining facets of audio-visual education. Mr. Clayton uses the daylight projection box. Vour Problems Are Their’s As the growth of the school proceeds, the services and interests of the students is ex¬ panded; to provide an evaluation of the stu¬ dent and his talents and capabilities, and thus to instruct him in the available fields, this year D.H.S. has added a guidance de¬ partment to its faculty. Through this service, students are aided in the selection of their courses, their activities, their further training, and even their vocations and jobs. Having been specially trained to pro¬ vide guidance for young men and women, the counsellors have not only helped stu¬ dents select their studies and further train¬ ing, but have also offered their cooperation in procuring admissions and scholarships for the college bound.
