Centennial Brings Added Activities The centennial year brought many added activities to various personnel at Palmer. Ms. Carol Miller, Dean of Women, became chairperson of The Centennial Steering Committee, which planned many significant activities. During homecoming week the commit- tee, with the help of retired Colorado SpringsfPalmer High School teachers, held School-in-Action Day, an open house to which local businessmen and alumni were invited. In addition, the committee arranged to have various football stars from past Colorado SpringsfPalmer High School teams at the pre-football game activities. Includ- ed was Mr. Frank Riddle, the oldest known living graduate, who tossed the football to team captain Glen Right- mire. Sunrise Graduation at the Garden of the Gods and the Centennial Ball, held in May, were also planned. The committee also helped with the spring production of MUSIC MAN. In addition to regular duties, the Business Office took part in the distri- bution of the centennial history book, CHANGING, by Ms. Linda Barber. The books were sold to alumni through- out the country. ABOVE: Maria Brown and Joyce Downs wait to see Ms. Miller BELOW: Mr. Dixon Elliot, Dean of Men.

New Committee Formed This year the Counseling Depart- ment formed the Student Input Com- mittee. Two students were selected by each counselor to express their opinions about various counseling programs. New members were selected every two months to encourage input by more stu- dents. Patricia Clapp, Head Counselor stated that this new committee gave the department a better perspective of stu- dent needs. In addition, for the first time this year, full-year scheduling was used to help seniors obtain their needed courses for graduation. The new scheduling also provided better organization at regis- tration and eliminated the need for sec- ond semester scheduling. The Counseling Department also added a new GIS computer this year to help students with college and career information. Formerly the Department shared the Math Department's comput- er, which restricted the duration of its use. To help give sophomores an earlier start in career planning, the ASVAB fArmed Services Vocational Aptitude Batteryj was given to 269 volunteer stu- dents at sophomore orientation. The test was formerly given to Industrial Arts Department students, also on a volunteer basis. LEFT? Mr. Gonzales works on a schedule for one of his 350 counselees. UPPER LEF7?
