X . .2 Looking Ahead With the seniors accounting for the larger percentage of the student body, the counseling department emphasized post-graduation plans and strived for instilling good attitudes in each student towards school. They also provided quality course selections for career preparation. The counselors arranged pre-college and minimum competency tests, and received informa- tional and resource visitors from colleges, military, and other services. They assisted students with problems in school, finance, and family life. The counselors are special people, acknowledged Woe-Principal Dr. Kathy Purcell. They are the only people in the school that see the student as a whole person, and can assist the student to improve himself in whatever field he has shown the most interest and efficiency. When asked what was most rewarding for him during the year, Mr. Jack Henderson claimed, Helping students to know themselves better, to find answers and solutions to questions and problems, and the opportunities to work closely with individual students in the pursuit of their per- sonal goals makes my job the most exciting and satisfying l can imagine!

7 Service With Efficiency Continued efficiency was the major goal for this year's support staff, according to secretary Celia Square. Their duties ranged from taking care of the many student needs in the attendance office to serving the long cafeteria lines. Their duties also included servicing the cashiers window and main office as well as keeping the school grounds neat and tidy. You could always count on the support staff to keep things running smoothly, commented senior Joan Oxford. i Besides tasks done, more important was the feeling the support staff created between the students and themselves. Stated secretary Dodie Hayes, You have to be fair with allot them, good student or not, and treat them all the same. Chester Barbara Cook Lou - Q -0 an - , . tr S s . , v 'M,Va,ng2 ..

Get That Job! Inflation and a competitive job market urged many students to enroll in classes offered by the Business Department. Skills learned from Accounting, Typing, Office Practice, Sales and Marketing, Shorthand, and Data Processing were just a few of the ways students were able to better prepare themselves for a career-oriented world. Thirty-one students were able to receive on-the-job training, high school credits, and money earned from their hours spent both during school and after. This added experience to their resumes and money for the rising costs they found themselves burdened by throughout the year. Students learned how to write resumes, how to dress for success, how to approach a job inter- view, howto use business equipment, and what to do in difficult job situations. The concern of the staff was apparent by the words of Mr. Tom Dahl, the Business Depart- ment Head, The kids are neat. We want to get everyone employed. With the valuable ex- perience the students received, a job in the demanding career world was just one step away. C. Jacobs P I We .. D.J0l'nson2 1.
