Owen Joins Guidance Department Files on every student ar e kept in the Guidance Office, and Mrs. Ruth Howe explains test scores from these files to Joann Stafford and Mary Morehead. Nineteen hundred and seventy- two brought Mr. Thomas Owen, a Distributive Education teacher from Pulaski High to D.H.S. as a special Senior Advisor. He became invaluable to Seniors by filling out college applications and offering counseling to students undecided about their future. Mrs. Ruth Howe and Mrs. Ca- nary Newman were underclass ad- visors and were in charge of stu- dent records. They had an endless job of determining grade averages for various purposes like the Beta Club and filing grades at the end of each nine-weeks grading period. Honor Study hall became the scene of an additional Guidance Office which Mr. Owen occupied and plastered with shelves of col- lege catalogues and brochures. The D.H.S. Guidance Depart- ment sponsored a College Night for New River District schools on October 23, 1972. Representatives from over seventy-five colleges, universities and vocational schools were on hand to discuss aspects of their institutions such as entrance requirements, course offerings, and attendance costs. Students from Christiansburg, Galax, Auburn, Radford, Pulaski and Dublin attended. The Guidance Department has expanded to meet the ever-in- creasing needs of a growing stu- dent body and faculty. Mrs. Canary Newman files semester grades for underclassmen. ? . 16

The Student Cooperative Asso- ciation of Dublin High School rep- resented the entire student body and attempted to clear up most of the gripes of the students. The S.C.A. also attempted to bring about changes by being the inter- cessor between students and fac- ulty. Representatives from each first period class, plus the presi- dents of the clubs made up the membership of the S.C.A. After presenting campaign speeches, the officers were elected by the stu- dent body. th|e, Miss D.H.S. Beauty Pageant, and a picnic for teachers at the be- ginning of the year. Sponsors Mr. Richard Richardson and Mr. Mi- chael Hickman assisted members in attending work shops and the State Convention held at Virginia Beach. Also an Activities Com- mittee was set up to coordinate all dances held at D.H.S. A very important branch of the S.C.A. was the Bi-Racial Council. This council was organized to bring equal representation to the minor- ity. Any discriminatory problems are brought before the Bi-Racial Council.
