Mr. Carriker, a new face at Garinger. Counselors Render Aid Members of the Garinger Coun- seling Department strive to provide students with those services which may enable them to achieve posi- tive self-direction. To accomplish this purpose, counselors work with students, teachers, parents, and various school and community agencies. They assist students with educational and vocational plan- ning and with personal problem solving. With a pupil-counselor ratio of 500 to 1, it would be impossible for one counselor to attempt counsel- ing in all areas. For this reason the work load of Garinger's counselors is divided into the following cate- gories: Vocational Technical training, and Selective Service informa- tion- Problems involving failure to succeed in school- System-wide testing programs and College and scholarship in- formation. : t Ji 5.4 yn s - .

At one time, French was consid- ered to be the diplomatic language of the world. However, in the past decade it has been replaced by English as the international lan- guage. This increasing importance of English in world affairs adds to the necessity for English speaking people to have total command of their language. ln addition to teaching grammar, English teachers at Garinger in- troduce their students to literature which presents many of the most famous ideas ever penned. Sophomores may sample a wide variety of authors and works rang- ing from Hamilton's Mythology to works by Dickens and Hemming- Miss Leonora Broughton Mrs. Fluby Caldwell Mrs. Jo Ann Carpenter Mrs. Faye Deese Mrs. Jeanne Fitzsimmons Mrs. Mary Fort Mr. Timothy Gailey Mrs. Peggy Gandy Mrs. Karen Gibson Mrs. Grace Hall Miss Susanne Haney Miss Katie Harris I8 English Literature way. Having had a taste of the spice which good literature adds to life, students are able in their junior year to pursue American literature in some depth. They meet charac- ters like the Stagemanager in Our Town, and E. A. Fiobinson's Rich- ard Cory. In the senior year, those who have begun to develop a taste for fine literature can satisfy their thirst for quality with the vintage plays of Shakespere and aged works like Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and other Greek tragedies. Continued study proves that the English language provides a never- ending feast of works which may be savored by connoisseur and amateur alike.
