The poets and fiction writers believed, i.e., domain of the BASILISK PEOPLE. And, though photographs con- sumed the bulk of this publication’s space, the YEARBOOK STAFF still be- lieved. For with each page, we grappled with word choice, we struggled with tenses, we fought over captions — be- cause we believed in the power of these words you read right now. We wanted them to be as meaningful and memorable as the photographed face of a friend. We hoped that you would savor them and feel the joy of perception. If you can read this, thank a teacher.

PATRICIA PALUMBO (captain of teen counseling) explains methods of conducting a session during an inservice meeting. Teen Counseling is a program that allows Juniors and Seniors who have a C grade average or better to conduct strategies for the 5th and 6th graders at Walker-Grant Mid- dle School. These strategies help the young students to communicate with each other and understand their feelings. Two or three Teen Counselors are assigned to a class by the sponsor and they go to that class once each month beginning in October and con- tinuing throughout the whole school year. The Teen Counselors meet with their spon- sor once a month at James Monroe to dis- cuss how each of their sessions went. The Teen Counseling Program not only benefits the students at Walker-Grant, but it also benefits the Teen Counselors. special Teens TEEN COUNSELORS STUDY sheets which outline procedures for conducting sessions BROOKE THOMPSON, Helen Poole and Sally Chap- man pose for the camera during a Teen Counseling meeting.
