Credits total? A place to go for help is the counselors' office. Officer It is, in reality, four offices, a file room and a work area. Mr. jim Farmer, sophomore counselor, Mrs. Kay Clark, junior counselor, Mrs. Libby Conant, senior counselor and Mrs. Dorothy Yanowski, secretary, reside there, each in their own office. Their many tasks include enrolling stu- dents in classes and giving tests. Of course, if a student comes to us with a personal problem. we always try to help, Mr. Farmer said. The counselors register students for classes each year and if anyone misses regis- tration, they are enrolled individually. They also help students who change schools dur- ing the year. Transfer students need to get as close to the same classes as possible so they don't lose credit for only taking part of a class, Mr. Farmer said. The job of figuring each senior's credits belongs to Mrs. Conant. She must figure each one separately. sometimes more than once. to see if they will be graduated. Also. she provides literature on colleges and gets scholarships for some students. if me A., , E.. g 1' is job includes registering unior counselor Mrs. Kay Clark is in charge ofgiving juniors the PSAT ICSI. 5 if ,WN .. .

LIBRARY ' ore than source of no els' 'I t was too much like Grand Central S tation' In 9- ? if x Studying for an upcoming test, Felicia Neyra, senior. takes advantage of the 1ibrary's quiet atmosphere. A quiet room, a room with carpet, tables. books and more books. The library is a place famous for its studious atmosphere. According to Mrs. Cindy Edwards. librarian, most people use the library as a source of novels to read in spare time. Thats not, however, all it's used for. In the library November Zjim Bradshaw spoke to the government classes on what he had done in office. After the National Honor Society Ban- quet the club members, parents and teachers retired to the library for punch and cookies and to give the parents and teachers a chance to meet each other. When the student council met about every three weeks, they used the library. The computer terminal was moved from the counselors office to the conference room in the library. It was moved because the counselors of- fice was too much like Grand Central Station. There were too many people in and out all the time and the computer math students had trouble finding time to run their pro- grams because so many people were wanting to play the games programed in the com- puter, computer math teacher jay Thomp- son said. The conference room is much more con- ducive to a learning atmosphere and learning is what you come to school for, Mr. Thompson said. W2 Mrs. Par Dyer, assistant librarian. has been working in the library for nearly 12 years, She laminates papers, types and helps to keep the records straight. Student helpers in the library assist other students by helping thetn locate books and checking out the books for them. They also check in returned books and put them on the shelves in their proper order, 'il knew Mrs. Kathy jenkins, former librarian, and I knew she was leaving, Mrs. Edwards said, so I applied for the job. Mrs. Iidward's new job. that of head librarian, has numerous responsibilities. She buys books, for the library, with student and teacher recommendations. and she buys audio-visual equipment and kits. Her job includes supervising the 19 stu- dent assistants and scheduling classes to use the library. Sometimes she is asked to com- pile a list of books on a given field for research papers. as if-'A MTN-...Q What Roger is trying to say is ... Mrs. jan Ed- . V - . - - . ' ds,:t dentc nc'ls onso s.
