Guidance-Foundation on Which We Build Special Services Vera A. Lamey Home and School Visitor Dana M. Pringle Guidance Director Paul L. McNaughton Special Education Mary Elizabeth Williams Librarian Five minutes left ' stresses Mr. Pringle, guidance director, as Lynne Lilly takes the S.R.A. Youth Inventory Test given to sophomores. 18 Although their work was seldom praised, our guidance counselors had a great deal to do with the shaping of our students' vocations. With the help of tests and individual consultations, the guidance department was able to determine in what fields a student would do his best work. In addition to this vocational guidance, both Mr. Pringle and Mrs. Gill stood ready to help with any problems encountered by a student. Miss Lamey, in her role as home and school visitor, rendered another type of guidance service to the students. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Daubenspeck were in charge of our library. Assisted by student librarians, the supervisors kept the library with its 6,915 volumes, 85 magazines, and 280 recordings running smoothly and efficiently.

Students were able to elect either the secretarial course or the clerical course, his selection depending upon his abilities and aptitudes. Four teachers in this department, striving to equip students with the skills and attitudes they would need when they became job seekers, stressed typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office machines, business arithmetic, English, and related subjects. In May senior business students were sent to various offices in the Oil City area. This work experience program gave students an opportunity to learn what the business world requires of its employees. The goal of this department was to prepare students to meet the rising challenge of the modern business world. Through repetition Sharon Heffern, Frances Lape, Charlotte Conn, and Jackie Peterson become proficient in shorthand. Jackie and Charlotte are quizzing the other two girls with brief form flashcards. 19
