Counselors and Custodians Add Their Bit Testing Director John Bremer ex¬ plains the directions of one of the several tests that he administers in the elementary and high schools. At regular times in a pupil’s school career his mental ability, achieve¬ ment, and aptitudes are measured as an aid in his educational guidance. Speech and hearing therapist Pat Huntington is a new addition to the MHS faculty. After administering speech and hearing tests, she gives remedial instruction. Miss Hunting- ton spends one day each week in the high school and four in the grades. Advice is given students on the school program which would best fit their future vocations by counselors Herschel Baker, Georgia Marshall, and Max Shaw. The high school offices, library, and bookstore each have a staff of student assistants.

Ward E. Brown Mrs. Helen Davis Kenneth Taylor School Board Draws Plans for System As architects of school policy, the Board of School Trustees sets up a budget, hires teachers, and approves changes that may be necessary to meet new conditions. This year the Board approved the spending of hundreds of dollars for such maintenance as roof re¬ pairs, interior painting, black-topping of the parking lot, and restringing the rope on the flag pole. Mr. Eugene Barnard has served on the School Board for eleven years, Mr. War¬ ren Schnaiter for ten, and Mr. Merrill Wilson for six years. Three people who also have very vital jobs in our school system are often overloo ked. Mrs. Helen Davis, dean of girls, has gained a long-needed office this year in one end of the Home Nursing room, and now carries on a more thorough counseling and girls’ at¬ tendance program. Kenneth Taylor has for several years car¬ ried out his duties as attendance director, and spends much time traveling around the school city and its outskirts in this capacity. Our assistant principal and dean of boys, Mr. Ward Brown, works with the boys’ at¬ tendance and also counsels with the male contingent, as well as serving as junior high principal. Warren Schnaiter, secre¬ tary of the School Board, is manager of the Martins¬ ville Milling Company; Merrill Wilson, president, is cashier of the First Na¬ tional Bank, and Eugene Barnard, treasurer, is a farm manager.

Special Services Reinforce Foundation The new fluorescent lights in Miss Georgia Moore’s domain absolutely entice all, scholars and the rest of us, to turn over a new leaf and search for building blocks for our education. Over one hundred new books have been added to our library this year to increase its usefulness to students and teachers. Here our own Florence Nightin¬ gale, Mrs. Jean Favour, assists in making one of the “sick” beds in room 7. Mrs. Favour plans and car¬ ries on an extensive health program in the city schools, placing a great deal of emphasis on preventing ill¬ ness before it has started. A new face appeared in our private stationer’s shop this year. Mrs. Helen Coglan now manages the services of this familiar landmark. Not only does she run the supply sales, but she also does a great deal of bookkeeping for each club and school activity. Page Fifteen
