CLERICAL and COLLEGIA TE The high school years are years of hopes, jrlans, and decisions. The five guidance counselors, under the supervision of Mr. Diiumick, help to direct each student toward the fulfillment of his goals. With over 800 students in the Senior High, this department is a very busy and important one. Mrs. Grundberg and Mr. Grubbs are the Junior class counselors: Miss Speer and Mr. Owens are the Senior class counselors. The counselors roster each student and contend with any related difficulties. They administer vari- ous vocational and achievement tests, and they test new students in order to place them in the proper group. They make the pupils aware of the varied opportunities available to them by arrang- ing programs and films of particular interest to high school students. TOP: Mr. Bruce B. Dimmick.
