She grinned widely ind said, We have accumulated a bulletin md two new pencil sharpeners. For Christmas Vlr. Jacobs received a pen holder, which now Jccupies a prominent place on his desk. Both Vlr. Jacobs and Miss lVlcFarland have new mictures for their oflices. Lastly, three calendars ind four telephone directories came in along with the new yearf, The petite red-head seated at the typewriter s another addition to the ofhce. Miss Williaiiis 'eceived the highest commercial honors in the 'lass of '48, She now lends her service in ad- ninistering our school system. lVlr. Glenn, this year, inaugurated the stu- lent guidance service. A modern guidance mfhce was set up in ll3. Among the furnishings ire two private booths enclosed with opaque glass. ln these booths the students and rounselors discuss problems that face them roncerning their present school activities and 'heir future plans.

Little wonder the ofhce is the first room with which a new student be- comes associated. Ir is here he makes schedule adjustments and receives early dismissals. llere is also found another group of people who are dealt with in a special manner. A long wooden bench is provided for these persons in order that they may relax before judgment is passed. The student who nursed his toothache by sit- ting in the movies hnds his path eventually leads him to this bench. lfven the greenest Frosh soon learns where to head when his name appears on the bulletin. From the begin- ning we learn to respect the decisions the ofhce issues. We know that along with the necessary hard and fast routine, it also provides guidance for those who desire it. We feel that our princi- pal and vice-principal, Mr. Jacobs and Miss lVlcFarland, are proficient in their task of administering the executive jobs which are theirs. 9

Perhaps we can best answer these two questions by scanning the four years of high school enjoyed by a typical boy and girl of the class of ,49. In the fall of 1945 when the freshmen entered the halls of G.ll.S., they were eager to learn. As they stumbled over Latin pro- nounciations with the aid of Miss Neale and Miss Whalen, as they fearfully watched Mr. Landis play with his scientific toys, they be- came a more active part of the school. They began to attend the sports activities and dances and even sold magazines. As they became more familiar with the building itself, they re- cognized the many advantages: the cafeteria, the gym, the swimming pool, a modern home ec department, wood and electric shops, me- chanical and agricultural equipment, and an understanding faculty. Mid-year exams came and went and the freshies considered them- selves old hands. After a summer vacation the new sopho- mores strode leisurely into school, laughing at the class of ,5O, who looked like lost sheep. Miss Berquist and Mr. Seeno had been added to the faculty, as tenth graders, we were not slow to note match making. Biology books
