Guidance Planning the future for a prospective graduating student, is a very delicate process. The Guidance Department tries with earnest to guide students down a path which is most com- parable to his abilities. The student and counselor work together to produce a schedule that will most satisfy the students hunger for knowl- edge in fields that he will excel and benefit the most from. The counselors are forever scoping out new information on requirement changes of various colleges. Standardized tests are administered by the Guidance Department, revealing the qualifications and general knowledge that a student has. Much recognition should also be given to the secretaries working for the Guidance Department. They type and send out many students history records to colleges to which they have applied. Putting both the secretaries and the Guidance Counselors together, the Guidance Department is more than worthy of commendation in the tedious work they have done for us. l I Av L7-J ,. Nt.

On October 5 the renovated learning center opened its doors no smdenu for the first time this fall. The area was far from complete, but the organization had proceeded to such a point that smdenrs were able to use the facilities, or most of them. The two year planning stage became an active renovation as soon as the last student had been fed in June. The cramped uarters of the previousl book-oriented library were expanded to include the cafetria, thellritchen and the senior thning room. In order to fai- cilitare subject orientation. the previous library became the Language Art: Center, the cafeteria is now the Main reading room and the kitchen and senior dining room are now the History Center. Used, were the basic resources of both the junior and senior high libraries in the planning. Tables, chairs, shelving and charging desks were consolidated, and the basic renovations centered around the newer concept of multi-media, the inclusion of non-print as well A print materials for student use. Fifty-seven study carrels now complement the tables, and all are equipped with lights and electrical outlets, These enable a student to use a record player, a filmstrip viewer or tape recorder as his msignment requires. There are two conference rooms for student useg they are adjacent to each and can be used as two units or M one large unit. A machine room is also a new addition of serviceg the 3M copier, a ditto machine and eventually a micro-film reader-printer, calculator, thermofax and portapunches will complete the inventory of machinery. XVith the help of the guidance department, we hope to develop a guidance area for students containing college catalogs. reference materials on colleges and universities, and vocational guidance materials. The learning center is equipped better then it ever has been before, leaving its success without question. M. nn I l-it Mrs. Jeanette Wilson, Assistant Librarian.
