GUIDANCE The tests which are given by our coun- selors are to find out the achievements, aptitudes, interests and personalities of our students at Lancaster. Our counselors use these results in helping students with job and college placement and technical training. GUIDANCE SERVICES 1. Programs for all students are individ- ually planned to suit their individual aptitudes, interests and needs. Counsel is easily available for all stu- dents and parents at any time. 3. Close cooperation with colleges en- ables students to meet representatives and discuss their admission questions here in school. 4. Necessary testing is done individually and in groups to help students plan their futures wisely. © 15 ATTENDANCE Mr. Robert Wright, attendance officer, has the necessary position of checking our absentees and issuing various passes throughout the school year. His cheerful cooperation is known and appreciated by both students and faculty. Anne Jackson does not appear worried as Mr. Wright questions her about her tardiness yesterday.

Workers at our Sunday Ham Dinner PARENT TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION The 1959-1960 school year was begun with high hopes and many plans for the Lancaster Senior High Parent Teachers’ Association. The ham dinner held on October 25, not only appeased many appetites but provided an enjoyable social inter- lude as well. A successful bake sale was held on the evening of Open House in November. During the Christmas season, a dance, which helped to put everyone in the Christ- mas spirit, was held for alumni and students. In April, our PTA pre- sented a Spring fashion show, in which students participated and Mary Jane Abeles was commentator. Other functions of the association are the support of the American Field Service Exchange Student Program, a scholarship fund and the Departmental Awards program. These activities are but a few ways in which the PTA helps provide for the welfare of the students in our high school.

ЗЕ EN TEXT TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT Mr. Ferrand plots the bus routes with the assistance of his secretary, Mrs. Mansius. | State Bus Inspector Philip Drumheller checks spindles of wheel bearing on a school bus while Henry Pawelezyk, mechanic, looks on. Our yearbook photographer catches John Unselt as he checks the oil on bus 3. Since practically all the students at- tending L.C.S.H.S. ride busses, our trans- portation department has been busy tak- ing pupils to and from school every day— driving an average of 500 miles on the regular routes, plus 90 miles for late trips. Aside from the usual runs, they have taken us to visit places of educational interest, such as City and County Courts and the Albright Art Gallery. They have taken our athletic teams and cheerleaders to sports events, and transported stu- dents to special rehearsals and extra prac- tice sessions for both musical and athletic events. This service was provided in all kinds of weather—dull, bright, hot, cold, pleasant, and stormy days—in rain, sleet, sunshine, and snow—on icy, wet, and dry roads—on main and side roads—in- side and outside the village. For this, we are most grateful.
