This year the counseling department was under the direction of Mr. Jerry Lemon. The depart- ment was involved with the student body, getting involved with student groups and activities. One method of getting involved was the pro- cedure for issuing progress reports which are com- puter printouts made out by teachers showing the students and parents how the student is doing. The printout was issued for all classes for each student. Mr. Steve Lewis, school psychologist, helped coordinate the Suicide Prevention Training Pro- gram with Mr. John Hudson. During the school day Mr. Lewis counsels students privately and helps students who come in each year. A new addition to the staff this year is Mrs. Margaret Harris, Career Center aide, who helps students with career choices and with the type of jobs that are available. Mr. Harten and Mrs. DiGesu, counselors, created an academic program this year for students who are in the top 10 percent of the senior graduating class. The counseling department was busy as well as involved with the student body. -, ,,,, ,........,....,,..aW. .N at Mrs. Betty DiGesu Dr. James Hamm Mr. Ron Harten Mr. Steve Lewis Counselors becon involved with students J , l.

One of the goals of the math department is to provide the mathematical skills necessary to meet personal needs relative to career and life objectives. The new math requirement, which began last year, states that all freshmen must have at least 3 years of math to graduate. Besides the basic math classes, ranging from general to calculus, P.V.'s math depart- ment also offers computer courses starting with Basic and moving up to Pascal and even Fortran.
