GUIDANCE Miss Joint, Mr, Johnson, Mr. Rose. The guidance department has expanded with the growth of Penfield. This year two new guidance counselors, Mr. Rose and Mr. Johnson, have joined the staff. Mr. Rose, former guidance counselor at Victor High School, is in charge of tenth and eleventh grades, Mr. Johnson, previously of Church- ville, advises the ninth grades. Miss Mary Helen Joint, the third member of the staff, is the senior advisor. Each counselor takes a ninth grade group and continues as its advisor throughout their high school years. When they graduate he will again take a freshman group. The aim of the guidance staff is to help the individual student make decisions regarding his edu- cation, vocation, social life and personal prob- lems. We can sincerely say that the guidance department has been an invaluable help in choosing our courses, colleges, and careers. 10 VICE-PRINCIPAL MR. DAVIDSON Unlike the Penfield of yesteryears, this suburban com- munity has undergone many changes. Certainly these changes have affected the many facets of our educational system. For the first time in Penfield there has been the need for a full time vice principal. Mr, Davidson's position is an important one, for attendance, one of his main duties, has risen from a total of 256 in the high school in i955 to 765 in the high school in 1960. Scheduling and supervising the many extra-curricular ac- tivities are also important duties of the vice principal. This leaves more time for Mr. Howell to observe classes and give his attention to other academic duties. Mr. Davidson also has the burden of discipline. This gives him a chance to help the student body to improve the school in many ways. By estab- lishing good daily routine it is his hope and ours that things will run more smoothly, and that there will be fewer irritations because of unforeseen circumstances, By informing the students directly and by working through the student council about proper behavior in specific situations such as assemblies, games, and concerts, improved behavior may result. This in turn will affect school spirit and the good reputation of our school in the community and among other schools. Congratulations to Mr. Davidson on a program well begun.
