ART AND LITERATURE THIS busy art class, ably instructed by Mr. Pilking- ton, is working on a number of geometric figures from which they will develop an abstract design. These students work on various problems in art, solved according to their own artistic abilities and talents. Many phases of art are studied and in each phase special emphasis is placed on the individual's self expression. Our libraries, supervised by Miss Rhodes, Mrs. Cul- len and Mrs. Anderson, provide a quiet and studious atmosphere for those students who wish to do refer- ence work or just read for pleasure.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS THE administrative assistants work many hours to enable our students to outline their courses in accordance with their fu- ture plans and to help them with their school problems. Mrs. Foster, Dean of Girls, helps girls with attendance, and other school prob- lems; in addition she supervises their gen- eral conduct. Mrs. Foster also works with the teachers in regard to their attendance registers. This year Mr. Pill advises the Junior and Senior college preparatory students and assists them in the selection of colleges suitable to their individual needs. The schedules of upperclassmen in the Commercial and General courses are ar- ranged by Mr. Turnbull who helps them select those subjects best suited for their chosen vocations. Miss MacDougall, Sophomore counselor, assists the members of the Sophomore class in planning their program and conducts periodic personal interviews. The Freshmen are counseled by Mr. Wat- son and Mr. Prahl who endeavor to start them off in the right direction. The guidance department and teachers may refer students with personality or study problems to Mrs. Walters, the school psy- chologist. Mrs. Walters also gives individual aptitude tests. Mrs. Hueston, Registrar, sends tran- scripts of school records to colleges where our students seek admission. Mr. E. C. Moore trains the Audio-Visual Squad in the handling of the film and sound equipment in room 18a. Louise Hueston Anne MacDougall James Turnbull Hazel Foster Emilie Walters 17

The music students greatly appreciate these suggestions, since they realize that they will be a contributing factor in making the next concert their greatest success. The dramatic societies in the High School look not only for acting ability, but also for back-stage assist- ants. The men behind the scenes are equally as impor- tant in a stage production as the actors. These unseen workers sometimes go on from High School to become directors, producers or stage hands. With them they carry a generous knowledge of show business gained through participation in high school dramatics.
