Nliss Isabel Jarvis guidance counselor discusses a schedule change with a student. AND THE GATES ln opening the gales of achievement, which some- times remain locked, one must turn to the person who has the key. For us here at Mont Pleasant, one of the keys to our gates rests in room 105-the guidance department. Here our counselors, Miss Isabel Jarvis, Miss Elizabeth Cunningham, Dr. Frank Mayer, and Mr. ,lohn Gregory, along with Mrs. Louise Rossetti, guidance secretary, are ready to aid us in taking maximum advantage of our edu- cational opportunity through counselling, group meetings and parent conferences. They assist us in making personal plans and adjustments which are important. This year another two keys have been added to the ring by the expansion of the office into room 106. This will be used for a comprehensive educa- tional and vocational guidance reference library by students and classes alike. Here we find Mrs. Sally Dojnik, who is serving as Mont Pleasant High School Registrar. Thus, as we enter the gates and pass through them to wider horizons, it is essential to think of these keys which open the portals of knowledge. Mrs. Alice Miron, Central Trees urer

Administration has been aware of the changes in the world around us and has endeavored by constant modification of curriculum to furnish us with one of the keys that opens the gates to new horizons. Our cafeteria has been renovated so that our students will now be in a position to obtain a choice of three lunch plates. The purpose of the renovation is to help students obtain combina- tions which are nutritionally well-balanced. We have a new chemistry laboratory which is completely equipped to teach modern chemical semi-micro-technics. As we go along the halls, we come to the practical nurseis laboratory. Here, again we find new equipment for practical exer- cises. In addition, the nurses have their own of- fice suites, the color scheme of which was de- vised by Mr. Hickey, our assistant principal. This motif is utilized throughout the practical nursing area. The physical education locker room area has also been renovated in that the instructional staff now has new offices which are in the self-con- tained locker area. The technical electrical laboratory has been re- furbished to accommodate new equipment and furnishings of the latest design. Our guidance office has added a new secretary and boasts individual offices for each counselor. It also contains offices for supporting services such as the New York State Employment Serv- ice. The physical changes in the building were insult' Mr. ,loseph Zizzi, Assistant Principal in charge of the Technical Department. Mr. .luck Hickey, Assistant Principal. N, made for the benefit of the student body. For success is not solely a product of any one place or person-it is a sum total of many diversified factors. Each little section is a key to the development of strong bodies and sound minds, but the mas- ter key is the individual, one who can open every door if he will but learn to utilize the greatest key of all: individual initiative. Mr. Armand Severino, acting Assistant Principal in charge of the Technical Department. 1 ',4'W'
