MRS. NELLE H. MILES Director of Guidance MRS. MARIE H. CARSTATER COL. LYNELL GORDON MRS. EDITH LEMON MRS. ANN KULP Guidance Department The Guidance Department is vital to the smooth operation of our school. It solves the problems of the students and helps them plan for the future. Our Guid¬ ance Department is headed by Mrs. Nelle Miles, who co-ordinates the entire guidance program. There is also a staff of five counselors and various assistants. This department has several repsonsibilities, the most important being the counseling of students. The coun¬ selor, through conferences with the student and refer¬ ences to test scores and past records, can analyze the ability of the individual. The counselor is able to place him in classes to which he is suited and to evaluate his high school record for future plans. Students take STEP and SCAT tests administered bv the Guidance De¬ partment. Page 1 1

William H. Jordan Principal Mr. Jordan, in his fifth year at Falls Church, came to our school from Lee High School where he was Assistant Principal. Trained in Florida, he was a pilot for the Navy. He received his Master’s in Education at the University of Virginia, but the College he considers “his” is Bridge- water, from which he received his B.A. degree. Through continual evaluation of the school program, Mr. Jordan maintains the high standards we have set. Under his able guidance and leadership. Falls Church High School has grown in prestige and scholarship. William H. Barrett Assistant Principal of Administration Mr. Barrett received his Bachelor’s degree in Education from Washington and Lee Uni¬ versity. He received his Master’s degree at the University of Virginia. He has spent a total of twenty-four years serving as an administrator of various schools throughout Virginia. This year marked Mr. Barrett’s eighteenth year here at Falls Church. Many have found him a strict but understand¬ ing disciplinarian. His warm personality and sage advice related in his stories of the days past are treasured by all who know him. Administration Frank Bernard Assistant Principal of Instruction Falls Church’s new Assistant Principal, Mr. Frank Bernard, is not entirely new to us—he was our reading teacher last year. He also has taught in other Fairfax County Schools for four years. Added to this teaching experience are seven years in New York State.
