WE RECEIVE SPECIAL CARE Reading skills and a healthy scholastic environment must be developed in or- der to provide a good foundation for learning. Students who require assistance in this area turn to the Special Services Department. This department provides invaluable aid in encouraging and cultivating the desire and aptitude essential to the learning process. An important part of this program is remedial reading instruction and courses in advanced reading. This skill is an essential one because without a well de- veloped command of words, all other fields are hindered. Thus our Special Serv- ices Department devotes a great part of their program to raising both the standards of, and the interest in reading. Adjustment, both scholastically and socially is mandatory for a successful high school career. Among their services, our competent Special Service Staff pro- vides a doctor, nurse, dentist and psychologist, working together to prepare all students equally for their present and future experiences. 1RRL °RETR J.

WORK HARD FOR OUR BENEFIT — I- DR. WARREN M. DAVIS DR. RANDOLPH T. JACOBSEN The organization and co-ordination of the diversified elements of our school into an efficient unified body is the responsibility of the administration. Dr. Warren M. Davis, as Superintendent of Schools, is concerned with the admin- istrative matters of all three Regional Schools. Dr. Randolf T. Jacobsen and Mr. Lewis Fredericks serve as his assistants. The efforts of these men and of those who serve on the Board of Education are directed toward enriching and improving our education system. Deciding school policy, choosing courses and teaching methods which will best enable each student to meet the challenges of the future, determining rules for the best interests of the student body and enforcing them are the respon- sibilities vested in the administration. Mr. Robert F. LaVanture, Principal, and Miss Anne Romano, Assistant Principal, are directly accountable for the run- ning of Dayton. A good administration such as ours increases the prestige and renown of our school with colleges and other schools, and for this we owe them a great deal of thanks. ' LEWIS FREDERICKS J. Mason, A. Blanda, R. Cannon, M. Rice.

AND GUIDANCE SEATED: H. Crawford, C. Singer. STANDING: M. Lefever, M. Giannone, T. Gam- bino. It has been said, It takes nearly as much ability to know how to profit by good advice as to know how to act for one ' s self. The Guidance Office functions on the assumption that we, the student body, have that ability. They follow the student and his progress from the time he is finishing grammar school through his first year of col- lege. Each year his courses must be selected according to his ability, his goals, and his past performance. He is advised through personal interviews about his future career and then is shown how to achieve this through college, trade school, business or the Armed Forces. When problems arise concerning personality conflicts, an unusual difficulty with courses, or a necessary change of schedule, it is to the Guidance Office that the students turn. During the students ' senior year the department is kept busy determining class rank, admin- istering and recording College Boards and Achievement Tests, send- ing transcripts and applications, and receiving acceptances and relat- ed correspondences.
