Guidance Steers Students To Successful Future Mr. Robert Dudley Chairman Mrs. Linda Altman Mrs. Edith Olsen Mr. Ed Scott Mr. Teeple shows Stephanie Landis and Maxcine Kittrell how to decide on a college to meet their individual needs. During the course of the year, our guidance staff held meetings with the Department Chairmen to discuss the courses of study for each department in an attempt to better their educational and vocational services. Counse- lors devoted more time to the students by observing and visiting them outside their daily classroom situations, in the student lounge, and in an informal atmosphere outside of the school building. Apart from informally associ- ating with the student body, the counselors visited th(‘ English and Social Studies classes and presented units on future careers and courses of study offered for the coming year. Mr. David Vivino Mrs. Joan King and Guidance Office secre- tary Mrs. Elizabeth Sheridan discuss the new grading system.
