Counselors Take On Additional Discipline, Attendance Duties We try to operate on the premise that all kids have something to offer the world. Our goal is to never discourage anyone from trying what he wants to try, learning what he wants to learn; it is only through experience that a person grows. It's a great thrill for all of us to see a student progress and blossom out. beginning to develop an awareness of himself and others and making full use of his God-given talents. Ted Downs (coun) Our main job is simply to be there when the students need us. There are many various duties under that first heading; sometimes we'll serve as an interpreter between the student and his teachers or family, or perhaps we can help an individual to make the decision that will best benefit him in the future. Or what is probably our most important function of all-lending the support that is so urgently needed during these years. Judy Pettijohn (coun) ... I really do enjoy my work as a whole. Even the unpleasant aspects can have positive outgrowths-like our newly acquired responsibility for discipline. I feel I've begun to build good relationships with some students who came to me Tor disciplinary purposes, and with whom I would have had no contact otherwise. Wayne Kinion (coun) ... The students need to realize that we would like to be so much more than automatic information givers. What we really want to do is be able to concentrate on the individual people and the directions their lives are going in. Self-knowledge and personal growth are great human goals. The school should focus more directly in this area and work hard toward the integration of intellectual. physical and emotional growth. That makes for a stronger, more complete person, and 1 firmly believe that it can be done. Pat Engelhard (coun) “This is my 17th year as a counselor. I wouldn’t stay with it if I didn’t like it.” Ted Downs (coun) 22 ADMINISTRATION COUNSELC

School Board Appoints Citizen’s Long Range Finance Committee We have spent much time in planning for and working on the new school’s library, and I think the students will greatly enjoy using it. It's spacious and beautifully designed, with many new pieces of modern equipment.” Joyce Cavanaugh (lib) .. “I wanted to be an aid because it allowed me more freedom than a study hall.” Scott Oavis (12) ... One goal of the School Board is to provide the students with many different educational opportunities and alternatives. I feel that we are only now beginning to remove the constant repetition that students encounter in their school lives. If we can succeed in setting up some alternatives to the way things have been before, kids can start to build on what they know already, and that element of frustration will be eliminated. Harriet Herb (vice chrm) ... We on the School Board are here to represent the community from a decision making standpoint, and to provide educational leadership within the school system. That's our first responsibility. Or. Lester Wanninger (assist treas) The enhanced opportunities for the creative involvement of students in academic and extra-curricular pursuits stemming from the community’s decision to provide a second high school are effectively mirrored in Windigo.” Dr. Charles Barao-auckas (assist clerk)... Our real goal in PTA this year is to create an understanding of cooperation between parents, teachers and students, and to accept the responsibilities of each of these groups in opening the new facility of learning in our community. Also, to make available to the community this new school in such a way as to build a tradition of great pride in the building and staff which maintains our high level of education.
