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

MR. WILLARD REITZ M(ISS MARIA Department Chairman COLETTE CAROZZA MRS. ELIZABETH KUHN MR. PAUL LEWIS Written work is vital to the understanding of a language. Language Skill from Conversation The language laboratory is a valuable supplement to the teach¬ ing of languages. 1R. HARVEY LOWDER MR. CHARLES MOORE Greater emphasis than ever before was placed on the use of the audiolingual method of language teaching this year. The language lab was used extensively by all classes in carrying out this program. The acquisition of a type¬ writer with foreign accents made the teachers’ written work easier. New courses offered this year include German IV and advanced placement French, which is to be continued through French IV and V. French V is a systematic study of French literature from the seventeenth century to the present. The German IV class attended an English per¬ formance of THE INCENDIARIES, which was later read by the class in German. MRS. ANNIE ROMANUS MISS MILDRED SPINDLE Page ] 3
