Parkview's counselors performed a diversity of tasks during the course of this year. They provided guidance to students in forming their plans for the future and in handling the problems of high school life. They offered assistance in the selection of a college, in application for scholarships, and in investiga- tion of job opportunities. V The counselors administered group diagnostic tests and held conferences with the students to evaluate their per- formance and potential, whether they were considering cer- tain courses for their study in high school or contemplating particular colleges or vocations. They also kept extensive records to provide information to other schools, teachers, or prospective employers. The counselors were always available for conferences with students, their parents, or teachers. They were con- cerned with student academic achievement, their attendance attitude, personal problems, and goals. Conferences with students on scheduling, scholarship applications, and individual problems were held by the counselors. Mr. Clzalg Sobotka fright! worked on an admission form, submitted by a senior, and Miss Lucille Dugan talked with Gary Welsh fbelowl about scheduling for his senior year.

New Approach Replaces Old Students of English received their first taste of a new ap- proach to grammar this year with the introduction of the structural-linguistic approach to the English language. The aim of the new method was to correlate better the spoken language with the written forms of grammar. The structural viewpoint supports the fact that language is speech and therefore speech is the proper subject for study. New emphasis was placed on audio-visual aids in the English department this year with the innovation of the Encyclopedia-Britannica Series of films. The new films were used as aids in study of the major classical literary periods in the English III and IV classes. A new visual aid on the English I and II levels was the Tachomatic projector and films to aid the student in reading development. These were aids in increasing both reading rate and comprehensive skill. English IV composition classes received new books which stressed a practical approach-to the traditional subject, and English IV literature texts this year gave ,added emphasis to contemporary authors and works. m 'Q ,a ' V ffiaf,:,r I , I .fi-M. gg ,fi Y-4 Q it ' f i5 S'f4ik,Qf'7?a1,,l .gg k,.V' VA .. 5.5 y, mx. gn- Mrs. .Henrietta Blume Mrs. Nancy Kerr Mrs. Peggy Frank Mrs. Georgia Pennel English III English I, II English III, I VL English I Wvfd Study Mrs. Esther Coull Departmental Ca-ordinator Miss Joyce Brauer Mrs. Mildred I-Ieagerty English IVC' Mrs. Mary Boschen E7l6li5h 11.
