Social Adjustments Goal of Counselors Social and academic adjustments wore tin- main goals of the guidance department. I hree lull time counselors filled the positions. The were kept bus throughout the year completing student files, planning schedules, and making changes. Even though there were no seniors, juniors were offered the opportunity to meet representatives from numerous colleges. Also a new device, College Entrance View Deck, helped students select a college on the basis of cost, location, ownership, and majors. Besides scheduling programs, the counselors took time to listen to report card gripes, student-teacher conflicts, and personal problems.

Mr. Wendell Miskimins Vice-Principal Miss Vera Kendall Girls ' Adviser Off to a Good Start Always eager and willing to help were the student advisors, Miss Vera Kendall, and Vice-Principal Mr. Wendell Miskimins.

Miss Kendall arranged the buses for the out- of-town games, sponsored the Girl ' s Club, and was social chairman of the school. Mr. Miskimins supplied and organized the tem- porary concession stands, was bookkeeper for the athletic department, and was co- sponsor of Hoys ' Club. Miss Kendall listens attentively as Sandy Villaboim tells her about her trip from Brazil. The first few weeks of school were hectic ones. Not only did Mr. Miskimins supervise concessions, he even had to sell them.

Secretaries Display Ability Frantically, Mrs. Duggan types the endless pages of philosophy notes for Mr. Fleming ' s students. May I have your attention, please? begged Mrs. Jean Fuller as slie began to read the end- less lists of announcements which began and ended each day. This was just one of the numerous tasks tarried out hy the office staff. The business of a high school must be handled efficiently lor a school to operate smoothly. A staff of a registrar, a teacher aide, counselor and attendance clerks, and two secretaries were necessary to accomplish this at I [cover. I on 4 before sc hool began last fall, the office staff, including Dr. Wetter, Mr. Mis kimins, and Miss Kendall, were working all summer setting up records, enrolling students, and receiving supplies, equipment, and text- books. It wasn ' t an easy job operating out of their temporary office which was set up in a hallway at Meredith Junior High, while Hoover was being completed. Even when school dismisses for summer and other vacations, these workers continue to perform their duties of serving the school. A cold doesn ' t keep Mrs. Holland from coming to work. Here she types reports for Mr. Miskimins, while Mrs. Fuller answers the telephone, which constantly interrupts their busy day.
