The Guidance Counselors Help the With the continuous stress on a college education, the guidance department has doubled its staff. They give students help and advice in selecting colleges and subjects to take. In the newly decorated office, students may read various publications which contain helpful information concerning study hab¬ its, choices of subjects in high school and in college, and higher education. The librarians are ready and will¬ ing to help students find sources to write their much dreaded term papers and parallels. They also keep an up-to-date library, ordering new books periodically. The library contains one book¬ case of college catalogues which help the students choose their colleges. The art department works with many different methods of draw¬ ing and painting. The students decorate the library bulletin board and the window outside the art room door, They also help in painting backdrops for pre¬ sentations given by various other departments. Robert Lilly puts some final touches on his still life picture in first year art class. MRS. SHIRLEY H. McCRAY Art and American History Longwood College B. S.
