Counselors guide students toward goals Advice for students is offered by the Guidance Counselors here at Garinger. The function of these counselors is to assist students in 1) evaluating previous academic work and earned credits, 2) select¬ ing course work suited with the student’s abilities and aspirations, 3) assessing potentialities for intel¬ lectual growth and development and 4) preparing the student for a more rewarding future.

Library: Focal part of academic life Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Garner and Miss Hollings¬ worth, the library becomes the focal point of Garinger’s academic life. Materials are made available in every field, and some of the newest modern fiction is added each year. As a further aid to researchers, the library now has a collection of magazines on microfilm. Besides being useful to the student, these microfilms allow the librarians to keep a backlog of magazines that will not take up valuable space. A full year’s subscription of one magazine is neatly stored on a three inch spool. The researcher need only thread the microfilm on one of two microfilm reader ma¬ chines available and “thumb through” the magazine issue of his choice. Another valuable piece of equipment that is farily new to the library is the dry-copier. With this device, a complete page may be copied. The progress that Garinger has made in the past will continue, and the library will help to lead the way. “I’m bound to get it right this time!’’ Mrs. Elizabeth Garner Mrs. Helen Hollingsworth Mrs. Sarah Parrish Mrs. Garner demonstrates visual aid equipment. 18

English: Extremely rich and accessible Literature, broadly defined, pre¬ sents the best that has been thought and said in the world. The literature of England and America is not only extremely rich but is al¬ so readily accessible. Through his study one may expect to enlarge and to discipline both the imagina¬ tion and the emotions, to increase the understanding of human prob¬ lems and character, and to gain aesthetic satisfaction through a participation in the ordered expe¬ rience which the artist presents. Special events, including a Jef¬ ferson Award Convocation, com¬ bined with the fact that new text¬ books were issued to students, added new life to mythology, Shakespeare, Emerson, and the many authors a person meets on his journey through the vast and exciting world of literature.
