 MANY BUSY HANDS SKIM across keys, file cards and records throughout the course of a day in the guidance depart- ment. Mr. Maynard, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Scnn, and Elsie Marcum are working diligently as they attempt to get everything done. There are no “average days for those who work in guidance. Each new day presents its own work and problems. Guidance Department, Helpers of Student Body Guidance Provided for Students ONE OF THE MOST serviceable.departments on the campus is the Guidance Center. As an aid to both students and teachers, it serves a double purpose. The testing program is an important part of guidance work. At least eight major tests are given each year with a countless number of other less im- portant tests. Among the major exams administered are National Merit tests to juniors, S.C.A.T. tests and College Boards to juniors and seniors. Other scholarship tests are given also. In addition to testing, the Guidance Center is responsible for scheduling and registration every year and college and career counseling. The I.B.M. machine, which has been a source of laughter and confusion and yet an infinite help to both the office and faculty is located in the Guidance Center. It, like the guidance counselors, is indispensable to Lauderdale High. Ruth Hendrick, Maryville College, A.B. Veazey Holt, Broaddus College. W.V.I.T, A.B. Dorsey O. Maynard, Marshall College, A. B..

Lauderdale’s Outstanding Library PARTICIPATION in the Traveling Science Li- brary is one of the many ways our school keeps abreast of the growing interest in the fields of science and mathematics. Lauderdale is one of the four high schools in the state chosen to take part in this special program. About every three months a shipment of valuable information arrives at LHS in the form of books from this traveling service. The library is building its own collection of books in the areas of science, math, and foreign languages with special encyclopedias and diction- aries. Emphasis is also placed on volumes of mod- ern history and works by contemporary authors. An added service of the library this year has been the placing of reference books in the study halls. Any student may enter the library’s training program and receive credit toward graduation. Lauderdale High can be proud of its fine library and outstanding librarians which serve as an ex- ample for other growing schools in this area. “CARDS AND MORE CARDS, exclaims Miss Zola Mae Blakeslee as she trains the assistant librarian students in their jobs. “One for each student must be placed in order,” she says. Our Library Keeps Students Ahead of Times Zola Mae Blakeslee, Florida State University, B.A. HOW TO USE a library with all its reference books and other helps is some- thing a student must learn early in order to be successful. This year Miss Ivy Berryhill has shown many students, especially sophomores, the library’s im- portance. Ivy Berryhill, Brenau, B.A. 15
