sn xt 4 -...KR I SA Behind the scenes: Dedicated service Behind the scenes at Highline there is a crew of people dedicated to keeping the school running effi- ciently. ln the office, Mrs. lrene ludish and Mrs. Dena Pounds keep on their toes with correspondence and other business. Mrs. Lillian Mickelson and Mrs. Patricia Esterbrook dealt with the attendance office and all the tedious tasks that go with keeping efficient attend- ance records. Registrar Mrs. Phyllis Drake greets new students and keeps the credit records straight. School nurse, Mrs. Wilda McOmbre was here on Tuesdays and Fridays keeping the students medical files up to date. Miss Carol Nightingale heads the efficient library crew always ready to assist students and faculty with research. Assistant librarian Miss Lillian Houston also specializes in the new career information room. Mrs. Dorothy Hauberg and Mrs. Pat Helm are able assistants. Another added area, located in the library, was the resource center, overseen by Mrs. Pat Englund. Here students were given battery tests to find out where they stood on the academic level. Students got individual attention where they felt it was needed. lt was a relaxed atmosphere and students were free to go back to their everyday school life whenever they wanted. The career center was another new feature this year. Mrs. Patti Anderson is located in the registrar's office to help students plan their careers or aid with choosing a college to suit individual needs. Many students found this to be a very valuable service. She had information and pamphlets, and books for every kind of career imaginable. 18 Miss Carol Nightengale Mrs. Patricia Englund Mrs. Lillian Houston Mrs. lanelle McGee Mrs. Patricia Anderson

They were willing to listen and evaluate individual problems, help map further educational courses, and open many avenues to the students. Mr. Bert Williams, sophomore counselor, introduced students to the many classes available to them for suc- cess in high school. The junior counselor, Mr. Michael Weatherbie, saw to it that the juniors began planning their future and fulfilling needed requirements for graduation. Mr. Ken Crossman and Mrs. Mary Wining, senior counselors, acquainted the senior class with requirements for college, and guided vocationally inclined students to satisfying occupations. Because of the nature of their work, the efforts of the counselors reached far beyond high school, into the lives of each individual they guided.
