Counselors Give Aid to Students Ill! 3 Do you have a problem? Why not take it to one of our counselors. Miss Gladys Wiskamp, Mrs. Carol Van Lente, and Mrs. Joan Brieve are the counselors for the girls of H.H.S. While the boys' counselors are Mr. Robert Connell and Mr. Earl Borlace. They are special friends of every girl and boy in school, helping them adjust to high school, giving aid to them in their personal problems, and taking time to talk with any student who needs a sympathetic ear. Our counselors keep a personal file on all stu- dents in H.H.S. and know all of us much better than is appreciated. ln addition to their counseling duties, they supervise testing programs and help students choose careers and prepare for college. Mrs. Beukema and Mr. Shearer work for H. H. S Mr. Dale Shearer and Mrs. Beukema had one of the most ditticult and time consuming iobs in Holland High. Their office on second floor was con- stantly filled with students looking for buses, lost clothing, schedule changes, and permits. Specifically, their office handled the attendance, eligibility and discipline. Mr. Shearer also takes care of all of the Senior High schedules and their numerous changes. Many a study-hall paper wad thrower found himself standing nervously in the office waiting for Mr. Shearer to be free. Much of the credit for keeping our school running smoothly can be attributed to these two fine administrators. l --4 ' 5 is l ,u ill ,z

These teachers represented the Holland High science department and led students in their quest of understanding the vast world of science. Courses in biology, chem- istry, physical science, physics, and physi- ology were offered and have given rewards to all students who elected them. Textbooks provided the brain work, and laboratory hours the experience. Much additional in- formation was found in the many science books in the library and in friendly conver- sations with teachers after school. This year several students, with help from their teach- ers, entered proiects in the Science Fair sponsored by industries in the Holland area. This experience in the study of one phase of science proved invaluable in future work, in college, or a vocation. -, : f . . sv- , , .,.,,,.:-Q-v -fs - Mr. Van Voorhees. if 9-J -wi, 43 , 'ffl' .1 ill.
