Publication of a student and parent newsletter was initiated by the department of special services under the direction of Steve Hrapchak, guidance di- rector. Dealing mainly with college information for seniors, the newsletter also covered the areas of student health and counseling for the entire student body. The newsletter, distributed in home- rooms at the end of each grading period, helped to enlighten stu- dents and parents on the activi- ties of the special services' de- partment which include guidance, nursing, social welfare and spe- cial education.

Staff Cut, Services Increase Quickly adjusting to the staff cut, the office aides and secretaries continued to provide an array of services for the student body and school personnel. The inconveni- ence created by the absence of an aide did not undermine the effi- ciency in the library or office and business continued there as usual. Handling everything from stu- dent attendance to the distribution of lunch tokens, the secretaries and aides formed the connecting link between the administration, par- ents and individual students.
