Mr. Easorn, guidance counselor, listens patiently to com- plaints of unidentified student who wants a schedule change. Secretaries, Counselors Control Mass Confusion Beginning their duties three weeks before the opening of school, the guidance counselors found themselves busy making out schedules for Provineis nine hundred students. Then, after the schedules were completed and the students received them, the counselors were faced with the task of shuffling dis- satisfied pupils from one teacher's class to another. With a smaller pupil load these counselors were able to instruct guidance classes and thus help stu- dents develop better study habits. They also had more time to aid students in selecting their college choices, making applications to colleges, and apply- ing for scholarships. Provine's three secretaries proved to be a necessity to the smooth running of the school. Mrs. Roberts wrote letters, ordered materials, collected mone and paid bills. Mrs. Anderson maintained the teach- ers' supply room, made appointments between par- ents and teachers, and mailed special appraisals. Mrs. Maude Gresham checked the validity of absen- tees, excuses, kept daily attendance records, and managed the student'-supply store. ya

tilt Students Utilize Library Facilities for Research T.. Mrs. Eaton proves to be a tireless aid to student Doug Byrd in finding data for his history project. With a collection of 9,150 books to choose from, students at Provine checked out an average of twelve books per student this year. Last year the collection was divided with one of the new city schools, but many books were bought this year to replace those shared. Several sets of reference books were added, including The Dictionary of American Biology, The Dictionary of National Biology, Con- temporary Autllors, Book of Art, Book of Popular Science, and Croveis Dictionary of Music and Musi- cians. Provinels efficient librarian Mrs. Eaton main- tained that emphases on replacement of fiction and literature sections have given students wider choices for recreation as well as required and supplementary material. To create reading enthusiasm, Provine,s second Book Fair was held by the Library Club. With ref- erence to the Book Fair Mrs. Eaton said, 'gl hope to expand the library facilities to coordinate better the learning activities for the school.
