He is in charge of attendance, transportation, and secretaries. When discipline is required, discipline is administered. Other than those specifics, lVlr. Carlson's role is that of a student advisor. Whenever needed, he can be found-always probing, questioning, solving-Thank you, lVlr. Carlson, for caring. :D 'X sk Mrs. Ronda Twombly Mrs. Hazel Cornelly.

Principal f .,-Wow. S V 'lf Z- lt zfwff Mr. Charles Ciaccio ln past years, both the Principal and the Assistant Principal have been asked to write a personal message on these pages. This year, the Yearbook Staff decided it was time to express our appreciation for these men and the tasks they perform. The Principal, as chief administrator of the school, must be a man of varied talents and interests. Since returning from a sabbatical leave, where he did course work for a Ed. D. degree, lVlr. Ciaccio has shown one of his primary interests to be that of student welfare. While busy with his work as teacher interviewer and supervisor, as well as curriculum and program planner, Mr. Ciaccio is ever present to speak with a student about school policy or any particular student headache. Since Nlr. Ciaccio's return to the principalshlp, the student body has re- ceived an increasing load of responsibility and freedom. The student union, strongly supported by lVlr. Ciaccio allows students the option of gathering in- formally or attending a regular study hall. Nlore cultural films have been pre- sented and lVlr. Ciaccio has seen to it that all films are viewed in their entirety. lVlr. Ciaccio hopes that in response to the new freedoms allowed, the stu- dents will learn to cope with and accept responsibility. The students, were it not for lVlr. Ciaccio's faith in them might long ago have their privileges and freedoms. Through pleadings and constant remindings, the student body has slowly responded in a favorable manner. We hope this response, though grad- ual, is a suitable reward, and we thank you Nlr. Ciaccio for the faith you hold in us. '

Guidance The immediate future after high school is very important to an individuat. Here he takes steps that will lead him into higher education, the military, or the labor market. The decision is a very important one and every alternative must be considered to make sure the individual will be content with his choice. At Guilderland High we are fortunate to have a first rate guidance staff. They are pro- fessionals who are qualified to help individ- uals plan and prepare for their post high school years. Each counselor meets with all his stu- dents at least twice a year. He helps the stu- dents make out a schedule that will best suit their abilities. They advise, revise and update the programs and courses offered. Various standardized tests are administered through guidance to help evaluate and compare the student with others his age. The guidance staff at G. C. H. S. puts forth a concerted effort to direct students and see that their individual needs are met.
