They. too. are responsible for scheduling and assist- ing with the physical and dental examinations as well as the follow-up work that takes place later. Yes, it is quite a varied schedule and an interesting one. Oftentimes to bring out the best in a child's mind and attitudes there is a necessity for a different kind of stimulation. Because of this the special education program is set up to deal with the problems of the exceptional child. FACULTY Problems. problems. problems. and more problems makes up an average day for the guidance counselor.

The blaring horns, the beating drums, the tinkle of the piano and the sound of young voices singing the scale are just a few of the sounds which may be heard in the lower hall of JAHS. There is always some kind of rehearsal-whether it is for a football half-time show, a band concert or the annual music festival. Two floors above the band room, students are learn- ing the fundamentals of art-free hand, pencil draw- ing, and painting with water colors. The value of this course can speak for itself. Throughout high school students must make posters for various activities, such as pep rallies, campaigns, bake sales and class plays.

Health HELEN BIENKOWSKI Physical Education WILLIAM GULEIEIESKI Physical Education. Health The old adage Hvariety is the spice of life proves true in the twice-weekly health classes. Freshmen and sophomores struggle to prepare for oral reports, argue through many debates, learn from lectures, and are en- tertained by slides and movies. In gym class. chaos prevails. that is, until the whistle sounds for roll call. Then the commands come fast and furiously and the marching drills create confusion, es- pecially when someone does a uright facev instead of a left face. On days when lmskethall or volleyball is scheduled the gym rings loudly with cheers and shouts of joy. On other occasions. the cheers turn to groans when the instructor announces calisthenics for the day. Long will the boys remember the aching muscles as the result of the wrestling matches. track relays. and the trips to the Flat for a baseball game.
