Senior counselor Junior counselor Religion English The road of life may be straight and nar- row, but in order to stay on this road, help is needed. Troubles may be solved with the capable assistance of the guidance counselors. The principal of the school, the faculty, and the four class counselors function individually and as a committee on guidance in student counseling. All the religious on the faculty, by means of their vocation, in a less formal way, give spiritual and moral guidance when and where it is needed. The four class counselors are concerned with every phase of the Regina girls' adjustment: per- sonal, social and academic. Through interviews twice each year they assist the student in identifying her needs, vocational interests and aptitudes, and choos- ing wisely her field of concentration and her life work so that she may fulfill Godis will. Information is available at the guidance of- fice on a variety of topics including career train- ing, employment opportunities, colleges, univer- sities, schools of nursing and religious houses.

Growing and Maturing Much of Regina's success is due to the hard work of the principal and her staff, who devote time and effort toward its improvement. This progress is achieved by a variety of developments and by careful, wise planning in each area. In the year 1955-1956, the administration brought about the affiliation with the Catholic Uni- versity of America. Accreditation by the Maryland State Department of Education followed in May 1958. In the school year of 1958-1959, the Russian, physics, and trigonometry classes were added to the curriculum. The government milk program was also initiated and welcomed by the student body. A foreign exchange program with a Jesus and Mary school in Mexico was started for the pur- pose of enabling outstanding students to study the language and culture at close hand. ln the sum- mer of 1959 students will also have the opportunity of studying French in Sillery, Quebec. In co-opera- tion with the National Catholic Welfare Conference. a Guatemalan student was accepted for a years study and more will be accepted in the future. Ex- change students reside in the homes of Regina students and partake of their family life. Talking to Mother St. Louis, R.,l,M. are Patricia O'Brien, business manager of the TIARA and Barbara Baldwin, art editor. Each morning finds a wait- ing line at the office door. Each student is ready to interview the principal on such matters as permissions, excuses. regulations and announcements
