Administration Investigates Dilemma THE MAIN CONCERN of this years administration was understanding the rea- sons behind the students problems. tiThe students attitude and how he acts are what our decisions are based on, said Mr. J erry Allison concerning skipping. The adminis- tration eased up on skippers but strived to find out why they were skip ing. The vigil outside also was relaxed as ar as smoking goes. For the second year in a row, Harrison had ttcollege style registration? It was a success and ran more smoothly than last year. Second semester pre-registration was used as a final schedule with only minor changes allowed afterwards. With encouragement and hel from the administration, the student b0 y kept the cafeteria much neater than last ear. A new pop machine was made availa 1e for stu- dents and faculty use any hour that they saw fit. A11 in all, despite the late start of school due to the two-week strike, the administra- tion worked hard to get the 1973-74 school year off to a fast and smooth start.

Awareness Of Careers Boost Interest INCREASED STUDENT PERSPEC- TIVE was one of the goals of this years Guidance Department. iWe hope to bring an awareness to students of the various careers they may pursue, said Mr. Gerald Sklare, department head. iiCareer Guidance Week was an example of how the counse- lors showed Hthe practical use of school- work. During this week, students talked to their counselors about how their schoolwork applied to possible future careers. In order to bring about a better under- standing of classroom wants and needs, the counselors individually Visited several classes during a school day. The information gathered was thoroughly discussed later at a counseloris meeting for further use in planning schedules. This year Harrison sponsored tiCollege Night. It brought 40 representatives from a variety of colleges together with students from Farmington and many other school districts. Another counseling program that proved to be successful was a pro am of training students as counseling aigs: The program proved a great asset to both the students and the faculty.
