Library and counseling are two important areas which have, at times, been overlooked in the past. Pam Storm, librarian, has developed the library into an interest resort for students. Books for enjoyment and research can be found there. She al- so sponsors the NHS. Bruce Miller, guidance counselor, is a big help to many students. He helps with college provision, school problems, and also sometimes person- al problems. This year, he also taught a health course for Freshmen, in which he covers bodily functions and disorders. He has spent his time as the football and track coach, too. 12

Language Arts and history are important areas for students to learn. They need to know these two fields for college and for technical jobs. Gertrude Brown teaches sophomore and senior English; senior English con- sisting of both grammar and literature. She also teaches French I and II. This year she took a group of students to France during the Easter break. English I and HI are taught by James Allen. He also teaches speech and directs the junior-senior play, which has been known to be a big job. Marty Barrett, instructor of World His- tory, U.S. History, and civics, had an exciting year to teach his field be- cause of the Bicentennial. He also teaches American Problems, which is a very helpful class in learning the problems of society and politics. 13
