Crucial Decisions By Adminisfrofio Grant has undergone many changes during the school year of 1971-1972. lt has been a year of uncertainties, yet one of reassurance. The defeated school levy created prob- lems concerning certain activities because of a shortened school year. Graduation, traditionally in June, oc- curred in May. The Senior Prom and the Rose Festival selection were moved to April. The Spring Show, sponsored by the Dad's Club, presented a gymnastics cir- cus. Due to lack of funds, other changes were in order. This made the school year more unique and versatile. Behind Grant's versatility was the Ad- ministration. All officials attended meet- ings and engaged in important decisions. This assistance helped establish the out- come of the school year. A change which faced Grant was the new counseling system offered in the Unit Centers. This program was organized to seek more effective means of communica- tion. lt provided services for students, teachers and parents. For the Administration, the year though short was a new and different experience. Above Right: Principal Gust Kanas took o moment to look at the camera.

Unit Centers Established For Bette More effective means of communication were established by the unit centers. The unit leaders, through the counselors and staff, provided services to students, faculty and parents. Counselors assisted students in making academic and vocational choices and aided with emotional problems. They pro- vided students with information con- cerning college and jobs, as well as ad- vice and help with home problems. A new addition to the counselinq staff were two community agents. They were largely responsible for informing and in- volving parents and the community in school life and activities and served as ad- visory personnel. This community contact was initiated mainly by the administrators and unit leaders.
