Mr. Joseph anchclli. chairman Mi» Ruth Williams Guidance Corrects Computer’s “Human” Errors Automation finally hit the Guidance Department this Fall in the form of a million dollar computer that sched- uled student programs. According to Mr. George Gould, principal, the computer made less than one percent error in scheduling. Despite this fact, it was sometimes difficult to convince students of the computer's value after they spent days deciphering their schedules and hours obtaining schedule changes. The Guidance Department spent the major part of the year helping students develop a realistic awareness of them- selves, according to Mr. Joseph Zanchelli, department chairman. Guidance also revised the handbook, organized the Greeter Committee, and established a committee to do follow up work on South’s alumni.

Principal Aims For Student-Faculty Interaction More involvement within and between the student body, the faculty and the departments was one of Principal George Gould's aims for this year. Under Mr. Gould’s direction, teachers joined committees to formulate programs which include new concepts in edu- cation. The committees examined variations in the school day, the changing role of the teacher, educational technol- ogy and school environment and atmosphere. Mr. Gould stated that two major concepts running through many of his plans were more opportunity for inde- pendent study and the possibilities and ramifications of team teaching. Among the duties of Mr. Charles Maier, assistant princi- pal. are budget planning, student scheduling and forming faculty committees. Dr. Albert Nagell, assistant principal, develops the school calendar and schedule of events for the year and oversees the student activity program. Under the auspices of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, Mr. John Glynn came to South this year as an administrative intern. Placed in this school to begin his administrative experience, Mr. Glynn focused on curriculum development. Mr. George A. Gould, principal Mr. John Glynn, administrative intern Dr. Albert J.
