GUIDANCE COUNSELORS New to IJHS this year, Mrs. L. Delootche has been in the education field as both teacher and counselor.

Before she became a guidance counselor, Ms, Collier taught Social Studies, She thinks working with tl1e students and faculty of IJHS has been very rewarding. Aim high so it will remain a xl school. ll. H. Ill has been a orever lat least since the school open- edl. Prior to becoming a guidance counselor, she was a PE teacher'and girls basketball coach with several champion- ship teams to her credit. Her energies now are directed to helping students of IJHS look toward their futures. Her face is familiar to all the eighth graders because of her input to the Computer Literacy lab on future jobs in the computer field. When asked what her special interests were, Mn. J. Tata replied People! l like to be helpful to others and en- joy being with all ages. This certainly is an asset to her job as guidance counselor here at IJHS. Holding a Bachelor ol Science degree from James Madison Universi- ty and a M.S, from Va. Tech, Mrs. Tata claims Stanardsville, Va. as home ibut the question is, do they claim her?l. As the wife of a 20 year Army man, Mn. G. Paradiso has lived in 27 different homes in who knows how many countries. With that many moves, she cer- tainly learned quickly how to be organized.

Unfortunately many English 8 students this year missed out on almost a whole grading period of excellent learning experience under the guidance of Mn. P. Caeklll. We're sure glad she was able to be with us the rest of the year. Retumlng for her 4th year at IJHS is Mn. K. Lauetter. Her B.S. degree ln Educatlon from Loyola College and MsEd. in Counseling from ODU are more than enough to qualify her for teaching 7th grade Reading. Everything Mrs. V. Merritt does seems to tum into lnltlals: 7S is her class VPl-SU ls her college BS is her degree VA is her birthplace V.M. is her hobby lwho happens to be her daughterll A late, but welcome, ar- rival to the lJHS campus ls Mrs. S.

She recently completed her MsEd. in Education at O l d D o m I n i o n University. lo. S. Segedy is spending her first year ever teaching English 7 here at IJHS.

Dur- ing her eleven teaching years, Mrs. Lant has managed to fit in extra college classes at O.D.U. to complete a Master's in Guidance and Counseling. Don't ever mention horsing aroimd to Hn. E.

She is the newspaper sponsor ln addition to teaching 7th grade Reading. When asked to descrlbe lJHS she simply said this place is heavenly. An enthusiastic folk dancer, Ma. M.
