Library For thousands of years, libraries have been useful both as places where knowledgeis stored and where schol- ars can come in contact with that knowledge.lOur school library follows in this tradition. ln order to be a good library, a li- brary must possess up-to-date informa- tion. Otherwise it is practically useless for most people. There must also be a great deal of information written if pos- sible from different viewpoints. Fulfill- ing this need the school library collects over 100 different magazines, five daily newspapers, and has a great wealth of reference materials other than the standard stock of encyclopedias found in most libraries. The microfilm read- ers are very helpful additions to the li- brary. They prove useful if a student needs information that can only be found in the back copy of a magazine that someoneelse has taken out. Since current magazines are on the micro- film in the library, it is fairly easy to place in the machine the piece of mi- crofilm containing the desired maga- zine. For those who just want to be enter- tained when they read the library of- fers a large selection of fiction and non-fiction.

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.

Health There is a room in the 300 wing where eventually every student finds himself, wheth- er in illness or in health. Physicals are given annually, and all students must have eyes, ears, height, and weight checked. Sports- minded boys are given spe- cial physicals. Earaches, sore throats, s p ra i n e d thumbs, students catch everything. Why is it only during Math quizzes that you feel faint? For the sick and the healthy, the added attraction is Nlrs. Jenner's special humor and care. When school work or per- sonal troubles are too much to cope with students find a sympathizing friend in lVlrs. Jenner. M, 9' ' I . ., ,QW . RJ.
