John Leonard The doors of Webb's guidance oiliice are always open to any stu- dent seeking advice about his school work, his vocational plans, or his personal situations. Colleges, universities and vocational schools provide the guidance counselors with a wealth of in- formation that they, in turn, transmit to interested students. Another intrical part of the coun- selor's duties is the administrating of numerous intelligence, aptitude, and diagnostic tests during the student's high school career. Guidance Office l Robert Arends Rita Hoege Clarence Lee Attendance Gffice Don't be deceived by the mi- nute size of lNebb's attendance office. A lot of action is crammed into that cubby-hole. For example, to help cope with the system started in 1964 which keeps a closer check on all absentees and tardy persons. A new assistant, Mrs. Keesey, is new in the attend- ance office this year.

Principal iyjldq Mr. VandeWater Q Wil? Insuring that each individual stu- dent receives the best possible educa- tion which Webb can provide, is the main goal of Mr. VandeWater, Webb High's principal. He works with the entire faculty by supervising all classes, handling all inservice programs, and all faculty meetings. In addition he is in charge of coordinating the effec- tiveness of the teaching program. All extra curricular activities at Webb which involve the students and the public are also under his supervision. Not only does he handle all public relations throughout this school dis- trict, but also is in charge of Webb's organizations and the student W.I.A.A. insurance program. In general he represents leadership in action. Theresa Liegel, Gladys Marini

Art Department Art instruction in Webb High, which is offered for three years, provides training in two major categories, two and three dimen- sional art. The examples of two dimensional art most common to us are sketches and drawings. These employ only length and width. Among the art students, the self-portraits are extremely popular. Ceramics, such as pot- tery, sculptured forms, and plaster casting comprise the three di- mensional arts which also use the third dimension, depth. Because of these divisions, the art depart- ment is orre of great diversity. fSTANDINGj Amold C.

Music Department The long range objective of the music department is establishing a curriculum guide for kinder- garten through twelfth grade in order to give a more comprehen- sive musical background. The highlights of the band de- partment were the solo and en- semble and band contests. The pride of concert band members is their new uniforms.

This plan devotes a quarter to each of the four major areas: American Literature, speech, grammar, and composition. Ac- cording to Mr. Barry, the depart- ment head, this unique plan ori- ginated hereg no similar program has been reported in the United States. College-bound students have agreed that such an in- depth study more adequately pre- pares them for advanced educa- tion.
