LIBRARIAN Earl Raymond Reed B.S. Degree--Oakland City College M.S. Degree--Ball State Teachers College Students who wish to advance their knowledge find the library very useful. Pamphlets and magazines are kept at the students 'disposal. Educational filmstrips to show in class are also available. The science students, in particular, benefit by the school's participation in the Traveling Science Library. This library consists of 200 books. Every three months fifty new science books are delivered to our school and the books used by our school during the previous quarter are sent to another school for their use. There were ten assistant librarians working under the supervision of Mr. Reed.They were to be seen either checking our books, helping students find information,straightening the shelves, typing for Mr. Reed, or performing other minor duties to keep the library running smoothly. 13

GUIDANCE i James Louis Nitsos B.S. Purdue M.S. University of Southern California To the passerby, the door marked 0.4 may seem mysterious, but this is the information office. The Guidance Office, where Mr. Nitsos awaits to help you to help yourself. How much knowledge you acquire in high school and how you intend to use this acquired knowledge are problems that involve some pretty important decisions. The Guidance Office can supply the pertinent information necessary to make those decisions intelligent ones. Of course, the decision is made by you, not by Mr. Nitsos. He will help the student to face his problem realistically and to arrive at an intelligent solution. The Guidance department also keeps a comprehensive portfolio on each student. His past achievements are shown on his permanent record card, and his capabilities for future accomplishments are reflected in his I.Q. tests, aptitude tests,etc. The student s other interests are shown by his extracurricular activities, hobbies, preference tests and interviews in the Guidance Office. Our file in the Guidance Office is information on job requirements, available openings in various fields, and rewards from different occupations. The Guidance department, room 0.4, is always open to students in need of planning for the future. 12

MATH And Mr. C. E. Isom A.B. -- Central Normal -- hath Social Studies, Physical Education M.S. -- Indiana University Education Teacher at Rolling for 29 years SCIENCE Mr. Wm. Russell Wells A.B. -- Hanover -- Chemistry Geology, and History M.S. -- Indiana University Education Teacher at Rolling for 20 years An extensive mathematics curriculum at Rolling this year consisted of two years of Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and Business Mathematics. It has been said by Freshman, If poison doesn't work, try Algebra , but later admitted they understood. Advanced Algebra students mastered the quadratic equation and division of radicals. Plane and solid geometricians proved theorems about circles, parralleograms, icosahedrons, and dodecahedrons. In business mathematics students were exposed to every day problems in buying, selling, planning, and figuring. Math is important because it makes a student think quantitatively. It furnishes and builds the interests, vocabulary, accuracy, and means of communication and developes the need for logical proof which are of value to every person. In Solid Geometry class Larry, Cherie, and Bill are studying the circles of a Sphere. 14
