,N x a GUIDANCE counszuuns During the last year of our stay in high school, Iamaica has been in the process of falling into 'he' pattern of a new administration, headed by Mr. Louis A. Schuker, Principal. Among the most noticeable aspects of the new regime is the emphasis on discipline and scholarship, as exem- plified by the hall patrol and the expanded schol- arship club. Mr. Abraham Deutsch, who has worked behind the scenes at jamaica High School for twelve years as Administrative Assistant, is responsible for the efiiciency of the General Office. Dr. How- ard Hurwitz, our new Administrative Assistant, is primarily concerned with problems of behavior and guidance. Although it may be traditional for students to malign the work of the Deans, they perform a necessary function. Perhaps not so well known as their work in disciplining students is their straight- ening out many misguided students so that they may finally graduate. The Deans of Boys are Mr. Alexander Caro and Mr. Gerard Fahey, who are in charge of discipline in the early and regular sessions, respectively. Miss Mildred McBride is Dean of Girls. , Possibly the busiest and among the hardest to see of the jamaica High School staff members fduring the fall term at leastj are Mrs. Beatrice Young, the College Adviser, and Miss Elizabeth Pcndry, the Vocational Counselor. Among the hardest working members of the faculty are the grade advisers who function under the able supervision of the Chairman of the Pro- gram Committee, Mr. Joseph Lundari. Mrs. Mil- dred Joseph, Mrs. Mildred Karten, hir. Joseph Kunin, Islrs. Lucy LaSala, Miss Ann McCormack, Mrs. Anne McNelus, Miss Desmond O'Donoghue, and Mrs. Anna Stein are always glad to help any student with his individual programming prob- lems. Mr. Morton Fuchs is in charge of the pro- gram for general students and Mr. Theodore Weinkrantz is head of the Honors School. b4RS. BEATRICE XIOUNG MR. THEODORE VVEINKRANTZ MRS. ID.-x GOTTLIELB 1 MR.

COMMERCIAL ART-MR. DINKIN HRT DEPARTMENT Art is a subject which knows no barriers. It is universal. Therefore it is important that high school students include as much of it as possible in their curriculum, professes Mr. William Kirk. head of the Art Department. The required art classes this year pursued the unique projects of Puppets and Mobiles. The praiseworthy results serve as eye-catching decora- tions for the second Hoor. Supplementing the required art courses are the elective art classes. The elective courses offer in- struction in painting, commercial advertising. crafts, fashion design and mechanical drawing. Some of these courses may help the student in a eareerg others are purely for enjoyment. Either way, jamaica's art courses provide a most inter- esting and varied education. 12 MR. WILLIAM KIRK, Chairman
