helping us to mold our futures. Our well-organized Guidance Department is composed of a director and three counselors, each of which is a counselor for a particular class. Their jobs cover many areas which include helping with curriculum choices, finding part- time employment, counseling students about col¬ lege preparation procedures, and supplying information concerning possible careers. In the eighth grade, the Guidance Department begins its job of helping students in their selec¬ tion of possible courses. Aptitude and interest tests are taken, but the final decision rests with the student and his parents. Additional counsel¬ ing of course offerings is given as the student progresses through his four years of high school. During the junior and senior years, much time is devoted to the selection of schools of higher learning. Many career conferences are held for interested students at which representatives, from all over the country speak. Occupational guidance is also offered to those who do not elect to take additional training in schools and colleges beyond high school. Robert B.

Mrs. Schiff, our dietitian, manages all cafeteria operations. Her job entails the many responsibilities of buying food, planning menus, supervising the kitchen staff, determining food costs and preparing a properly balanced nutritional lunch. Mrs. Schiff has had eight years of schooling and several years of previous experience as an executive dietitian. One of the most popular places in school is the cafeteria during the 4th and 5th periods. Students are served a hot lunch as well as sandwiches and individual dishes. Ice cream and milk complete the menu to make a full selection of foods. Since the program is subsidized, the prices are well within the range of the students. A manager, chefs, servers, and cashiers make up the staff. A squad of boys, working in twenty-minute shifts, help wash dishes for which they receive their lunch in turn. On many occasions the facilities of the cafeteria have been used by outside groups and organizations. flu ' s on the menu? Cafeteria workers shown preparing on of Hl« many salads on the menu.
