Dedication The Sunrise staff of sixty-three Do dedicate to Mr. Witkowski A book, of which we boast so loud To a man of whom we are so proud. Students, he claims, are his pet peeve. But we have reason to disbelieve. To many a friend he is well I(noum As a willing and eager chaperone. A Bachelor of Science and Masters Degree In Education had earned he. As guidance counselor or principal. He could surely sene us all. A loud and mighty roar you'll hear If you happen to pass near. In the midst of scolding he will laugh So much has learned this Sunrise staff. This man many students do fear At the beginning of the school year. Only the students who are eager Will survive under this leader. Students who take Physics or Math Are sure to amble on “Chet's path.

Guidance Counselors Mr. John Gillespie Mrs. Clara Mew Most students at East are well acquainted with our guidance counselors. Since East High is the only combined junior and senior high school in the city, Mr. Gillespie and Mrs. Mew have a doubly hard job. They both agree that their most important job is talking to students, helping them to select the right college, to prepare for the right job, or to gain insight into their problems and ways to solve them. Any student who has a problem, whether school or personal, may feel free to talk it over with his or her counselor. The counselors also have information about many colleges and scholarships available to students. Many students who otherwise might not go to college because of money difficulties have been helped to find financial aid through the efforts of Mr. Gillespie and Mrs. Mew. The counselors also help the student-teacher relationships by finding out about the students' abilities and letting the teachers know what to expect or not to expect from them. A comprehensive testing program is provided; and after the results are known, the counselors talk with the individual students to explain to them what their scores mean. Mr. Gillespie and Mrs. Mew make up an important part of East High, and their hard work is appreciated by both students and faculty. 6
