Guidance New classes were added to course selection. Four counselors worked diligently to provide guidance and assistance to the students. Although the number of students enrolled at Eastside remained the same, the efficiency in the office was maintained and many classes were added to our course selection. Among these were a computer science course, Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corp CNJROTCJ, and a lengthened construction course to help make improvements around the school. Although times were hectic, Art Stirrat, head of the department, managed to keep the office working smoothly. One of the newer staff members, Larry White, added a touch of occupational specialty which contributed greatly to students who were unsure of their future. The two counselors, JoAnn Jenkins and Lyn Addiscott, kept busy throughout the year despite the many problems that arose, such as students uncertain of what classes they needed to graduate, work permits being issued, and other various complications the student body had. 1.
