Mr. Miller helps student plan future courses. Planning Future Education And Careers Keeps Counselors Busy Even though this is a time of youth, students need guidance as they approach their future. The coun- selors help parents serve Northites in this capacity. Schedules must be planned not only so that a student has enough credits to graduate, but also so the classes benefit him in his future education or job. Coun- selors are always willing to help with any problems a student encounters in his life. Keeping records of each counselee is another major job of the counselors.

State, M.A. Graduate Study: Univ. of Wise Univ. of Neb., Drake, I.S.U Besides guiding girls toward a good life. Miss Lyons spends a lot of time during the second semester helping the seniors plan their final activities. The menu for the ban- quet, decorations for the prom, col- lecting money for the luau, passing out caps and gowns, and planning the procedure for graduation are just a few of the responsibilities this job involves. Fun and well organized activities are important in the life of a senior so Miss Lyons works hard to make them that way. Growing up is an important part in everyone ' s life, so Frank Hildreth and Miss Mayme Lyons try to help the stu- dents at North to develop from youth to mature, intelligent adults of the future. Fairness and a great interest in student affairs establishes Frank Hildreth, boy ' s adviser and vice principal, as a fine part of the North High faculty. Counseling, administering aptitude tests, and handling job opportunities for students are only a few of the duties Mr. Hildreth must ful- fill as an adviser.

PHYLLIS PHOENIX Univ. of Iowa N.W. Missouri, B.A. Drake To qualify students for careers in the field of business and to introduce them to the business world are the chief goals of the Business Education department at North. To achieve these goals, modern teaching devices and actual practice of business techniques and skills are key factors in the everyday procedure of the classes. Drills in typing, taking dictation in shorthand and notehand, keeping records of transactions and accounts for bookkeeping, and receiving training in salesmanship, are a few of the activities of the individual classes. Other business courses such as commercial math, law and geography provide the student with a broader back- ground in economics and industry. —11 — Mrs. McKay keeps time as Sue Waggoner and Lynn Par- rish type.
