HOPKINS FACULTY SERVICE DIVISION THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE at HHS who have thankless jobs. How many of us stopped to thank the nurse when she let us rest our weary bones in her office? Over one hundred of us a month took advantage of this means of escape from our daily schedule. When not listening to the complaints of students, she tested our eyes and ears and assisted with an immunization clinic, TB tests, and X-rays. How many of us considered the work involved to plan and prepare nutritious meals for 2100 starving students? Twenty-one women carried out this job faithfully and efficiently with the addition of a fourth lunch line and new round tables. Which of us ever thanked the custodians for doing such a remarkable job of keeping the blackboards clean, the art rooms swept, and our lockers fixed? Our building required the efforts of sixteen men working in shifts to keep it in top shape. The high school office was maintained by three hard-working secretaries who handled mountains of paper work, signed passes, and tolerantly listened to the inquiries and protests of both students and faculty. Although most of us did not have contact with them, our speech clinician and special education teacher worked with the individuals who required their services to help give every one of our students the best education possible. A PASS TO CLASS FOR SOPHOMORE ERIC KRENELKA. 17

MR. JOHN MORRIS, Count lor . . . MISS HARRIET PRUSSING, Coun telor. SONJA INGMUNDSON CROUCHES IN THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE HER MANY COLLEGE CHOICES. GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT SECRETARY MRS. PIADSEN PREPARES AN ADMITTANCE PASS FOR JUNIOR BARB OWENS. TANTRUMS AND TEARS MET WITH MIRACLES THIS YEAR marked the transition from the class system to the alphabetical system in the counseling department. This innovation, which divided the students alphabetically rather than according to class as in the post, allowed the counselors to deal with members of the same family as well os to work with all three class levels. A second innovation was Mr. Nelson who became the seventh member of the counseling stoff. Fast and accurate IBM computers provided the teacher with a profile on each of his students, and reduced the scheduling time from approximately six weeks to an hour and a half. The computers made it possible to maintain a well organized record of each Hopkins graduate's schoolwork and post-graduate life. More college representatives than ever before came to acquaint Hopkins students with various colleges ond universities. The University of Minnesota experimented with a revolutionary approach using three rotating faculty speakers each equipped to handle o specific area of interest. Such conferences were aided by a constant influx of college bulletins ond scholarship blanks, along with vocational information and notices of local job opportunities. 19
