BLUEPRINTING FOR TODAY AND Under the supervision of Mr. Mann, Larry Prather lays out a sketch of one of his projects in architectural drawing class. Just as a finished building requires hours of planning, conferences and schedules, so does the making of an educated person. From enrollment to graduation we build and de¬ velop our lives around plans. Before we start our freshman year, we have the problem of drawing up a four-year course. A counselor for each grade from eight through eleven helps us in program planning. Freshmen learn how to get along with peo¬ ple and how to pick a vocation in their Social Living classes. Seniors get some elementary psychology in Social Problems. In other class¬ room activities teachers and students work in small groups to plan projects. Club planning takes place in endless com¬ mittee meetings throughout the school year. I “Problems! Problems! Problems!” exclaim Mr. Shaw and Mr. Brown after a strenuous first day of school when sched¬ ules had to be straightened out. Getting ready for the big game on Friday night, Mr. Bisesi diagrams a new play for the starting five: Jim Major, John O’Neal, Bob Burkhart, Bill Edwards and Perry Quakenbush.

Page Ning With lilting Spanish accent and gay smiles Mima and Jing Perez from the Dominican Re¬ public were a welcome addition to the student body. Mima and Jing listen intently as their cousin, Marty Lovett, shows them a map of the school building. Phil Goetcheus was assigned to one of the information tables on the first day of school. William Atkins and Geraldine Kaylor seem to think this innovation is a good idea. Mr. Winslow’s general science class was the first to use the new television room. The set was purchased with funds from the Student Council and the old Girls League. Hustle and hubbub were all a part of open¬ ing the new cafeteria. Everyone started out minding his manners, but good food soon had the high-schoolers eating high-school style again.

TOMORROW Students listen intently as Mr. Wilber Kendall from the Martinsville Daily Re¬ porter explains the opportunities in the printing field on Career Day, while future farmers listen to some of the problems that may face them as stock raiser W. J. Hardy outlines the opportunities in the agricultural field. What to do after graduation is one of the questions that students try to find the answer to in Mrs. Hazel Owens’ social living classes. Here Mike Quakenbush, Maurene Heshelman and Linda Gerkin are using the vocational file, textbooks, and posters to help them reach a decision. £ David Green and Nancy Norman study the vocational guidance bulletin board in the library, while Carolyn Dutton consults with her freshman counselor, Mrs. Murrell, as she plans her program of study for next year. C?
