The Board dealt with all matters of policy such as establishing salaries for teachers, adopting a school calendar, deciding upon a curriculum, and controlling all school activities. In general, its responsibilities were to provide the utmost in educational opportun- ities with the money available. Guidance and Counseling Many problems were solved for students at Hudson Area High as they consulted Mrs. Oyer or Mr. Curran for guidance and counseling. The sen- iors found both counselors a source of information when applying for col- lege entrance. Many students found them helpful in suggesting courses to take and then making the necessary schedule change. 10 Mrs. Oyer helped Dennis Ames.
