The duties of these aides varied according to the department or office in which they served. Mrs. Ladell Whitaker, who came to Leon three and a half years ago as its first aide, served as an aide in the Eng- lish department. Her duties consisted of typing tests and materials to be used with students in the classroom, tak- ing dictation for correspondence and memos, running off mimeographs, answering the telephone and delivering messages, running school errands, grading objective tests, recording test scores, having coffee available each day in the planning room, and assisting the teachers in every possible way in order to give them more planning time. Duties of the other aides at Leon consisted of typing, using business machines, library duties, keeping the clinic, readily handling attendance cards and McBee report cards, and attending to various other duties similar to ones mentioned above. Teachers greatly appreciated the extra help for now they had more time to teach the students and participate in sponsoring extracurricular activities. $3, t Memeographing stencils for the teachers of the English department tabavei is one of Mrs. Smith's duties.

Working with Julia Whited on her mid-term schedule changes is her counselor, Barbara Phifer. GUIDANCE School Counseling Services Available to All Students Advising every student who sought counsel was the aim of the guidance department. Interested students could request a private conference with their counselor to dis- cuss academic, social or personal problems. Counselors would suggest job opportunities and technical offerings for postgraduate plans to students or make other sug- gestions concerning future career opportunities. The guidance office held college conferences through- out the school year. Representatives from several colleges Mr. JULIAN ADDER- LY, guidance; Activ- ettes; MRS. MARY GREEN, guidance, Paramedical; MRS. BARBARA PHlFER, guidance, FFA. came and spoke to students interested in attending their school. They told about scholastic and academic oppor- tunities the school offered and distributed material on the subject to all interested juniors and seniors. Handling of the Senior Placement Examination, SAT and other standardized tests was the job of the guidance office. Applications for the tests were distributed by the counselors and the best scores were returned to them for student records, future college records and personal use. Guidance aid, Mrs. Alice Lanier talks with Beth Wollschlager about making an appointment with her counselor to discuss her future education plans.
