Guidance Is Essential Part of Student Life MRS. ASHLEY GORDON Guidance, Randolph- Macon Woman’s Col- lege, B.A., NHS. MRS. EMELYN MARKWITH Guidance Department Head, Longwood B.S., University of Rich- mond M.S., FTA. Coffee is nourishing, but this is ridiculous. Our futures will form the community, nation, and world. Realizing this, the guidance counselors offer information and insight in choosing a curriculum that will give us a well- rounded schedule and present us with a challenge. Their wel- comed advice also aids students in choosing a college and a vocation. Through the understanding and consideration of our counselors, today becomes a step toward insuring a better tomorrow. Mrs. Markwith juggles subjects to fit a busy student's schedule. Md “You know,” laments Mrs. Marcuson, “I believe it sounded better the other way.”

The Administration Understands and Guides MR. G. H. REID Principal, William and Mary B5S., M.A. MR. CHARLES R. ROUTON Assistant Principal, University of Richmond B.S., M.A. ” “Oh, you shouldn’t have... One of the first things a student learns when he enters school is the location of the main office. A center of constant activity, situ- ated between the Guidance Department and the teachers’ mail room, the office houses the lost and found department, the paper cutter, and, of course, the principal and the assistants. During the day both the principal, Mr. Reid, and the assistant principal, Mr. Routon, amazingly seem to appear in two or more places at once. The secretaries, Mrs. Hamrick and Mrs. Williams, coping with assorted tasks, wonder if a thirty-six hour day is possible. Through the understanding, help, and wise counseling of these persons, the members of the student body are encouraged to be- come better individuals, constantly striving for, the achievement of their goals. Hdl bes Mrs. Doris Williams works busily at her daily secretarial tasks. Mrs. Louise Hamrick aids Mr. Reid as his efficient secretary.

BOWLES English, Longwood College B.S. MRS. BERNIE W. BOWLES English, Westhampton Col- lege B.A., TALON, Quill and Scroll. English Classes Provide for MRS. MILLICENT ANDERSON English, French I, Radford College B.A. MRS. ANNETTA BAGWELL English, Randolph-Macon Woman’s College B.A. “Now, students, you know I told you not to read classic comic books for book re- ports!” The students eye each other sus- piciously. Who told Mrs. Marcuson that Ivanhoe was published as a classic comic book? In order to supplement the literature of the semester surveys of English, American, and other authors, book reports often find their way into the student assignment book. The five years of English instruction help us to become more skilled in our lan- guage and also aid us in our study of for- eign languages. Perhaps the most impor- tant of our courses, English also promotes a keener interest in the understanding of and communication with peoples through- out the world. the MRS. JULIA D. MRS.
