Guidance became a very important word around the school as tests and counsel¬ ing were carried out by the two counselors. Assistance for the col¬ lege bound as well as the job bound student was available in the files of the department. Visits to colleges to talk to GHS graduates were made by the counsel¬ ors.

New Principal DONALD FRENCH Indiana B.S. Miami University. M.Ed. In an effort to make our good school better, many changes were put into effect during the 1963-64 year. Registration of high school students was completed before the opening day of school, we went back on a six period day with an activity period, and much new f urniture was added to the school. Paint brightened the drab halls, and ny of the classrooms were repainted. Vork on the new addition seemed very slo as we wanted to move in. Running ovt to the Ober Building to eat, meeting classes on the stage, and doing without electricity made us more aware of how nice it would be to move into the addition. Overcrowded classes and study halls were relieved as the addition was com¬ pleted. Room 11 became a real library instead of a study hall. The redecoration, the new addition, and an enthusiastic student body and faculty made the year successful. Mr. French assumed the duties of prin¬ cipal in August. He also served as a Stu¬ dent Council sponsor and served on many committees of teachers and students in an effort to make a better school. 6

The many hours of reference work required for Eng¬ lish classes kept Rosie McGrath in the library. Journalism student Carol Gaff clips one of the countless articles she needs to com¬ plete an assignment. English, the basis of American edu¬ cation, trains the students of GHS to speak correctly, to write coherently, to think intelligently, and to read ap¬ preciatively. Grammar, speech, liter¬ ature, journalism, and composition were the subjects offered. With the rapid advances in educa¬ tion, technology, and business--it becomes imperative that students have a firm foundation of English skills.
