GUIDANCE AIDS The Guidance Aids, under the su- pervision of Mrs. liekman, handled all progress reports entering and leaving the school. They also changed any incorrect grades on the report cards. ln addition, the aids worked many other clerical jobs and thus relieved the guidance Counselors from the tedious and time-consuming but very essential duties. ln order to become a Guidance Aid, the participating students had to sacrifice their study hall period to perform this means of assistance to their school. Through their work the Aids learned to co-operate with one another and to meet many new people. LAB AIDS The Lab Aids formed a vital part of the Science Department this past year. Since the aids had to have previous experience in the course that they were assisting, they could carry out the primary responsibility of helping the students to keep experiments running smoothly and efficiently. Working toward this goal, they assembled the necessary equipment and prepared the proper chemicals before the classes began. Teachers also delegated the grading of tests to the Lab Aids so that more of their time could be devoted to their classes. Since the work of the Lab Aids was done during their study hour, they were chosen on a voluntary basis. Valuable and practical laboratory training was gained by the students which they will be able to use in future endeavors in science.

Some of their recognized duties were to help teachers in maintaining order and to assist any visi- tors in the school. The guards also did a fine job in their daily duties of organizing cafeteria procedure, checking hall passes and lockers, and supervising students between classes. About once a month at a meeting held during the fourth hour, Mr. P. Magro reaffirmed the guards, responsi- bilities to insure the smooth running of the school. Mem- bers were chosen according to .their availability. TOP ROW: ,l. Lesnialf, L. Koubelf, A. Klinlca, T. Pieroni, S. Miself, R. Hagar, K. Osuch, L. Harlzzc, f. Jannush, S. Dohrn. FOURTH ROW: T.

Besides collecting the absence slips, the Deans' Aids had the responsibility of compiling, typing, mimeographing, and distributing the master absence list which each teacher received daily. In this way the aids helped their school and at the same time received a high degree of clerical practice which will better prepare them for future office work. With the help of these students, the deans were given more time to attend to the more important details of their office. Like the other aids, the Deans' Aids gave up their study hall time to serve Morton. son. SECOND ROW: J. Giacalone, J. Czafka, K. Habada, C. Self, R. Strarna, P. Pitrak, M. Vuolo, C. Kaleta, C.

LIBRARY AIDS During their study halls or after school, the Library Aids helped students with the library facilities and also aided the librarians in many ways. The fifty members of the organization performed such duties as checking out books, finding back issues of magazines, returning books to the shelves, and keeping the library atmosphere. Under their advisor, Mrs. A. Smenos, the aids planned a splash party, a field trip, and a Christmas party. The fund-raising project of the year was the Library Aids' annual paperback sale which kept them extra busy in late October and early November. TOP ROW: E. Cundiff, S. Riha, K. Tiesenga, C.

The students who were Nurses' Aids were kept busy by assisting the nurses in any way they were asked. Every hour the nurses were helped by stu- dents who would otherwise have had their study halls during that period. Their duties included filing students, health records, typing, and running errands for the nurses. However, no skill, only interest, was required of the stu- dents to be chosen as an aid. A numbef of the members who worked as aids plan a future in the field of medicine so that they gained valuable experience. Under the guid- ance of Miss L. Considine and Mrs. E. Vocelka, they achieved a better understanding of the basic principles of medicine and office work. y
