WILLING TO HELP When there was a problem, the counselors were always there, willing to help. They advised students to choose courses meaningful for the future. The counselors fur- nished information about colleges, vocational schools, and occupations. In addition, they ar- ranged for college representatives on campus to give first hand information about college, and sponsored Rotary Career Day, when people came and talked to students about different oc- cupations. Mrs. Preetorius, the head counselor, advised Seniors and Juniors; Mrs. Hollowell aided Juniors and Sophomores; Mr. Fields assisted the Freshmen; and Mr. Harris was in charge of job placement.

HELPING STUDENTS TO HELP THEMSELVES This past year Jenkins offered several pro- grams in special education. PVT (Pre-Vocational Training), headed by Mr. Mills, prepared the special student for finding a job in which he felt comfortable. SLD (Specific Learning Disabili- ties), designed to help students deficient in math or reading to handle high school subjects, was coordinated by Ms. Chaney. Ms. Shernoff headed the BD (Behavior Disorders) depart- ment in its objective of helping the student labeled a behavior problem to function in any situation. In-House Suspension, founded on the idea that the student deserves a second chance, allowed students to stay in school rather than be suspended. Coach Cadson was the coordinator and Ms. Burnsed his able assis- tant. These programs were successful because they reached the students on a personal level and gave help where most needed.

EFFICIENT AND PROFICIENT The “keys which kept the clocks wound this year were our talented school secretaries. These ladies proved helpful in all situations which arose and gave their help cheerfully. This trio — Mrs. Jane Mell, Secretary to Miss Carroll; Mrs. Bobbie Lewis, Bookkeeper and Treasurer; and Mrs. Terri Mehlhorn, Registrar — added much to the efficiency of school procedure simply because they cared. They were con- cerned about student welfare as well as the smooth running of the school day. Our efficient and well-qualified secretaries greatly enriched life at Jenkins High School. UPPER: Cheerful and witty, that's Mrs. Mell! ABOVE LEFT: Mrs. Lewis gets it all together. LEFT: Mrs. Mehlhorn is always willing to help. 18 SCHOOL SECRETARIES
