Clemmons B.S. : Va. Union University Study Hall Supervisor Guidance counselors scheduled over 1400 students. The Guidance Department at Pulaski High School was in many ways instrumental in the success of every P.H.S. student. Throughout the summer, the members of this department worked scheduling students in practical, gen- eral, or academic courses. During the year, they arranged schedule changes and dealt with any problem a student might have had. In personal counseling sessions our guidance counselors helped students make plans for the future and were responsible for providing records to colleges and employers. Mr. Huff devoted his time this year exclusively to help- ing Seniors with their task of entering col- lege. He worked closely with the Senior Class, keeping it informed of tests and scholarships available. The Guidance Department supervised the administration of aptitude tests as well as college board exams. It kept records of all grades, scores and tests results for each stu- dent and organized them for his future use. We are deeply indebted to these people for their never-ending efforts on the behalf of all the students. 28

Daily, we come to school trusting that the building will be warm, a hot meal will await us at noon, and that classrooms will be ready for another day’s activities. Each day, the ladies in the cafeteria planned, prepared, and served hot lunches to over 600 hungry students. Tempt- ing aromas filled the halls on days when rolls were served. We wish to thank this hard work- ing group for their services. The responsibility of caring for the school building and its grounds lies with our school custodians. These people arrived early and left late, working diligently to keep the school plant functioning properly. We owe these people a special debt of gratitude for making our school a more pleasant place in which to work.
