On September 7, program schedules indicated a change in counselor for some students. This wos necessary because the counseling deportment adopted a new form of organization generally known os the vertical plon. It provided a cross section of students from the three grades for each counselor, instead of the traditional one counselor for each grade This change was primarily brought about because of the increasing size of the high school population. It also eased the burden on senior counselors who had previously been swamped with college meetings, recommendations and placement. During the year students were permitted to attend meetings conducted by college representatives from throughout the United States. Representatives from Williams, Occidental and Bradford Junior College were new among the more than 135 representatives visiting our high school. In addition to the meetings, counselors prepared bulletins which further informed students concerning post-high school planning. Many students had individual conferences with their counselors to discuss plans. Mr. Wayne Kinion helps seniors narrow the field of college preferences. COUNSELORS REDISTRIBUTE THEIR 2,029 STUDENTS Mr. R. Schmidt consults the junior high to coordinate the counseling system. 25 Miss Phyllis Graebner mimeographs preliminary SAT bulletins for juniors.

The seniors informally discussed how the work the closs was doing as sophomores fit into the broad overall program planned for those enrolled in Enriched English, Seniors presented their reactions to reading and writing as their opinions changed from year to year.
