Guidance and Direction Mr. Francis W, love -- headmaster. Miss Brokaw, assistant head mistress, has taken charge of many of the important duties which were previously assumed .by Mr. Lovett and other faculty members. She is in charge of the testing programs and rearrangement of schedules to carry out these and other activities. As class adviser to the iuniors, Miss Brokaw has counseled the giris on colleges and applica- tions. Mr. Lovett and Miss Brokaw both teach class- es, thus maintaining a close relationship with the students; and each administrator informs the parents as to their child's progress or lack of it. Mr. Lovett works with the trustees in setting and carrying out the school policies. He selects the faculty in such a way that both teacher and student will benefit from the course. He also manages recomendations for the seniors and advises their application. Due to the expansion of administration, the school has been run much more smoothly this year. The efforts of these administrators shall assure a high quality of education to Hillsdiale students. The Board of Trustees is a vital part of Hills- dale. It is a governing body, elected by the school corporation, and is composed of parents and alumnae ot the school. The Trustees are a hard-working and con- scientious Group who establish our policies, have charge of financial responsibilities, building pro- grams, and all legal problems which pertain to the school. i It is the Trustees who carefully planned and nurtured the recent new additions at both Hills- dale and Lotspeich. We are ever grateful to and most appreciative of this Board for its unceasing incessant work on behalf of the school and the students, . l u,

Over the years, Hillsdale has expanded its academic courses to keep pace with the pro- gressing worid and to adequately prepare its students for whatever iob or further course of study that they wish to pursue after graduation. Hillsdale has been, and is still in the process of instig-ating new courses of study for future years. The curricuium, with its new accelerated math plan, the audio-linguai program, the addition of the American Economics course in the history department, and the expanding science labora- tories, gives the student a wide variety from which to pick and strives to give her the best possible education in what ever interests she decides to pursue. The members of the faculty are responsible for developing these new courses and plans of study, and giving the student an opportunity to develop her capabilities to the best of her ability. Perhaps the greatest achievement that any teacher can hope for, is to give to her students a knowledge of the course that she is teaching and to stir up within the student the incentive for further study and development of the stu- dent's ideas. We are fortunate, perhaps too fortunate, in having the door so widely open to a rich and complete education. We have before us a variety of courses in which to find our direction, we have small classes and faculty members, whose patience, encouragement and guidance is never Eacking. However, our education is in our own hands: we can take advantage of what is before us, or we can let it slip by, and wish too late that we had grasped it as it passed by.
