He assists stu- dents in planning for college and sends their high school transcripts to the college of their choice. He is also in charge of the testing program at Poly and helps students interpret test scores. A friendly and willing member of the faculty, Mr. Smith is a familiar person to most students. Understanding, sound advice, guid- ance, and sincere interest are only a few of the qualities that describe MISS JEAN THAYER, Dean of Girls.

Many students leave Poly with wonderful memories of our Dean of Girls.
