Counselors-Mathematics Some new faces were seen on the G.P.H.S. campus with the math department featuring several new recruits. Former Caveman Mike Slagle, who graduated in 1969, took over as a general math instructor. Mr. Slagle also doubled as Caveman cross country coach. When veteran teacher Marshall Summers was sidelined due to illness, Dave Gester, former student teacher at G.P.H.S., finished out the semester. Taking over for the second semester was Jerry Hull, former coast businessman and S.O.S.C. grad. Major changes took place in the area of counselling.

Carol Beatty, director of counseling, felt that with the counselors next to the student center, and the homelike decor, students would be more apt to take advantage of the facilities.
