Mrs. Wescott, Mr. Gay Now let's try it again, in tune this time, people. Our music department at Oxford Hills consists of two divisions - the chorus and the band. With the aid of our new music director, Mr. Gay, the department has come a long way. All Iields of music from madrigals to modern genres are explored, and the students cultural knowledge is broadened. With Mrs. Wescott's enthusiasm, the chorus is striving to attain bigger and better things with each year. The band has achieved a new Hnesse and sparkle in this school year. An exchange concert, a Christmas concert, not to mention several appearances before the student body, mark their many Hne accomplishments.

In a mobile America, the car and its use play a strategic part. The Oxford Hills driver education program is designed to give the student a full un- derstanding of the automobile and its functions. The students meet with their instructor two periods a week. One period is spent in learning the rules and regulations of driving, and the other is spent on the road, driving with a skilled teacher. They learn not only how to operate the car, but also how to respect its potentially dangerous powers, when incorrectly handled. At the conclusion of the course, the students receive their permits, and are well on their way to being responsible citizens in an automotive society. Mr. Hacker, Mr, Kugell. ' U Practice makes perfect.

Through guidance a student is helped to find the key to a successful future. Leading a student in the right direction is the task of Oxford Hills guidance counselors - Robert Clifford, Barbara Hall, and Robert O,Connor. It is by no means an easy job. Many of the problems that burden high school students eventually fall upon the shoulders of the guidance counselors. Schedule conflicts, vocations, college choices, and personal problems are ex- amples of what a counselor encounters during the course of the day. It is through this guidance that the student is able to understand himself better and to recognize his interests in order to select the career for which he will be best qualiied. In addition to assisting students, the guidance counselors arrange interviews and informal meet- ings with representatives from institutions of higher learning, branches of the armed services, and other governmental agencies. They also arrange and su- pervise such tests as the College Entrance Exam- ination Boards, the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Tests, and the General Aptitude Test Battery. With the results of these tests and the knowledge of the student, the guidance counselors are able to guide individuals on to the right path to a successful and rewarding life. Mr. O'Connor, Mr. Clifford, Mrs. Hall. Now as I was saying
