establishes new offices and council A new counselor system was established. The purpose of this board was to co-ordinate the work of the year and to supervise the homeroom guidance program. One teacher from each class was chosen to represent his respective class year, Mr. Woolley represented the senior class, the junior class was guided by Mr. Blackman, Miss Brinkmann advised the sophomore sections, and the freshman home- rooms were counseled jointly by Miss O'Neil and Mr. Matthews, All were under the leader- ship of Dr, Gates, Through the co-operation of the Board of Education and Dr. Gates, the offices were en- larged and divided. The English rooms, num- bers lO2 and lO4, were converted into the CLASS COUNSELORS' Scheduling programs for each class- R. Gates, V. G. O'Neil, G. E, Woolley, and J. L. Hunter s i k H5 girls' club rooms and the high school offices, the original location remained as the board and superintendent's office. Students were introduced to new and dif- ferent systems and regulations. When they were tardy, they were sent to their counselors for a pass. Also, going to the office after an absence was no longer necessary, but the stu- dent went directly to his homeroom where a pass was given to him by his section officer. By establishing this system, much confusion was eliminated and time was saved. To the happiness and satisfaction of many students, 7:3O's were abolished. Hall passes were introduced this year, E.
