Library Counselors Make Changes Changes were made in the Counseling Cen- ter. When Mrs. Lorraine Ramseyer moved to Eugene, Mrs. Kathy Crenshaw, Director of Stu- dent Activities, Dean of Students, and Student Government Advisor, added Head of Counsel- ing Center to her titles. Mrs. Millie Miller re- placed Mrs. Ramseyer, counseling students Q- U. This year, in an attempt to help sophomores adjust to high school, the counselors sent them letters. The letters introduced the students to their individual counselor and how to contact that person at the high school. The services offered were also explained. Students were re- minded of unverified absences, class schedul- ing, and how to cope with personal problems. Counselors hoped the letters would help stu- dents adjust to high school. Overdue Books Continue To Be A Big Problem The RHS library is one of the most important sources of information on campus. In the past few years the number of books checked out has increased but so has the number of books lost or never returned. Students are notified when items are overdue and reminded to return the books for the use of other students. If the books are not returned the day they are due, the students are charged a .25c per school day fine. If a book is lost, the fine stops on the day the library is notified. A list of students owing money to the library is posted on the library doors at the end of each semes- ter. If the fines are not paid at the end of the students’ senior year, they will not receive their diploma. However, some library materials dis- appear without being checked out to avoid the offender’s having to pay a fine. The library is still exploring ways to combat these problems. ▲ Mr. Charles Church looks up from his work long a Library aides Mrs. Darlene Netz and Mrs. Darlene enough to answer a student's question.
