Pericles The Guidance Department is responsible for leading us, or rather pointing out our path through the jungle of blackboards and examina- tions. Guidance couselors serve as liaison between student and teacher, student and distant administration, student and parents, or student and fellow student. They answer questions and solve problems from the IBM machine fouled up my schedule to what did l get on my SAT's to what should I major in at college. The advice of the de- partment is expertly informed and always shows genuine concern for students as individuals. - s 2 ...

The Industrial Arts Department holds forth in the basement of Adams House. There are courses for every interest, including technical drawing, a two-year course which prepares stu- dents for engineering schools and post-grad- uate trade courses. Other courses of the depart- ment are Industrial Crafts, which gives students tool experience, and Home Construction, which introduces students to the materials and costs involved in construction. The training given in staging-lighting, scenery, electricity-has been an invaluable part of the dramatic produc- tions at NHS. All in all an imposing amount of work goes on down in the land of saws and blueprints.

Who knows useful things, not vnnny things, is wire. Aeschylus The Business Department concentrates on teaching useful, practical techniques-from the operation of IBM to the development of man- ual skills. The Department has a twofold job: training future business workers in fundament- al secretarial skills like typing and shorthand, and helping students who wish only to in- crease their efficiency in these skills. Retailing and sales techniques are also part of a carefully- planned program of major and minor courses. I

LIBRARY DEPARTMENT 'IHIH x 3 ? 4 4. I 4 ,. 1 is 1112 3-5 FIRST ROW: Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Erskine, Department Headg Mrs. Abrahams. SEC- OND ROW: Mrs. Moriarty, Mr. Beatty. The Newton High Library Club performs an indispensable function. The members spend time before and after school and during study periods keeping the library in condition to serve over 2000 students. They help process new books obtained by the Library. They pre- pare returned books to go back on shelves and then check to see that books are in the right order on the shelves. The members keep the Library's collection of College Catalogues up to date. They send out overdue notices, collect Library passes, and file information in the card catalogues. And for their efforts?-the mem- bers learn the materials and procedures of a well-run library. Hence the great importance of seeing that the first stories he bears shall be designed to prodiice the best possible 6666! on his character. 'SEIU Plato The Newton High Library Stafi' has been equally selective in choosing the books to fill its shelves, hopefully, though, characters have already been formed and the librarians can concentrate on choosing books that will pro- duce the best possible effect on students' minds. In selecting these books, the Librarians keep in close contact with all NHS departments to be certain their purchases will relate to the various courses. Besides being able to End the assigned books, students can be confident that they will find the book in when they need it, because of the very convenient reserve system by which books are only allowed out for a short time. The Library also runs an efficient paper-back enterprise. And with all this, the Newton High Library has a staff as interested in its students as in its books. It is always ready to help and sometimes goes to great lengths to secure materials for students. Seniors, let us only hope we've not been spoiled! LIBRARY CLUB FIRST ROW: L. Hamill, S. Battista, L.
