Everyone gets in the picture — Volleyball holds a high place in the minds of the girls in phys. ed. classes. Strength, Coordination Are Physical A sound body and healthy mind. With this as a goal, the FLHS education classes started another year of ex- ercise and sports activity. State-wide emphasis on physi- cal fitness was carried through with a program of body conditioning exercises. Mrs. Stang again employed the Ed.

Senior high counselor, Mr. Rank, adds the finishing touches to the library bulletin board. Special Services Find Their Places As a school grows, so also does the demand for special serv- ices within the school — services which complement the various types of training which communities have come to expect from their public education systems. Long recognized and planned for, the counseling department, in its two brief years of formal operation, has developed into a full scale guidance program. Comprehensive testing programs are but one facet of the plan, for it is the evaluation of the vari- ous achievement and scholastic aptitude tests which provides the bases for the important counselor-student conferences which follow. Another new service, added this year on a full time basis, is that of the school nurse. Miss Stokes' duties encompass such things as providing proper emergency first-aid care, arranging for vision and hearing tests for students, suggesting referral of various cases to proper medical or public health agencies. Remedial reading classes, under the direction of Mrs. Volk- mann, meet in FLHS, a need felt in virtually every high school throughout the land. Students with special problems in reading, may, by intensive study in these classes, be brought up to the reading levels of students their own ages, and thereby enjoy greater success in all of their subjects.
