Students’ eyes opened to realistic opportunities by able Guidance Staff. V.P.I.? U. Va.? Kentucky? Which college will it be? Or will it be a job in a nearby area or perhaps in Manassas? These are only a few of the many questions that the guidance staff must help students answer as they prepare the citizens of tomorrow's world to face the successes and failures which come with life. Much testing helps the staff to make logical decisions and properly channel students into various fields. Parent Conferences aid when working with individual students and constant teacher-guidance conferences keep the staff well informed of exact production of a student. Only in these ways could the Guidance Staff function as successfully as they have done for the past years at Osbourn. They continually attempt to improve their methods and change to fit the times.

Principals, Secretaries set fast pace. A principal's job is often complimented by the work of an efficient secretary. We have three principals and four secretaries and their work, ranging from the delightful to the dreaded, is usually most efficient. They would be the first to admit that problems exist, but they were also the first to entitle our school year THE ACTION YEAR-and action we have had: hallway romances were curtailed; MY FAIR LADY was produced; school spirit reached a higher mark; Osbourn got a new roof and P.A. system; and a self-evaluation was completed. It was rough, and there were times even these thought it might fail, but THE ACTION YEAR pulled through, thanks to principals' pushes and secretaries' hard work. Mrs. Edith Teien . . . head man .. . keeps everyone on the go . .. sincerity could easily be her nickname. Mrs. Mabel Baker . . . watches the school's money Mrs. Sheila Phipps . ..
