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.

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.

ENGLISH OPENS THE DOOR JOHN HOGLAND, D.C. The art of communication makes possible a relationship among the ideas, goals and accomplishments of all people throughout the world. Smoke signals didn ' t suffice, and picture forms are easily misconstrued, but words have sur- vived. Since communication is such a vital part of existence, the art of speaking and writing and understanding is a precise one. A greater effort must be made to express and comprehend valuable ideas in order that a more substantial num- ber of people can derive both benefits and pleasure from the words of others. Such is the purpose of the English Department at Jonathan Dayton. A pleas- ant and inspiring variety of literature is presented including at least four of Shakespeare ' s best loved plays. We learn to appreciate the creative genius of men from Hawthorne to Frost, Chaucer to Dylan Thomas. Most important we realize that English and the masterpieces of literature created in it and preserved by it are as alive today as the day they were written. STANDING: W. Garwacki, A. Kropinicki, C.
