R.H.A.L.S Sponsor Lynn Wohlberg and Paul Russell, library helpers, straighten the book shelves MRS BOBBIE DEAN Library Clerk Students' Benefit Members of the Ruskin library staff are an integral part of the school. Ruskin students find the librarian, Miss Ann Abarr, and the clerks, Mrs. Lonnie Miller and Mrs. Bobbie Dean, ready and willing to help them search for information for a special report or a research paper. Teaching aids, film strips, movies, pictures, records, and pro- jectors are cared for by the mem- bers of the library staff. Through the efforts of the librarian, the two clerks and the library helpers, Ruskin's library is an efficient, well-organized depart- ment. The members of the library staff work to make the library the hub of the students' work area. MRS. LONNIE MILLER Library Clerk 17

Office Secretaries Perform Behind-The-Scenes Services I m portant in their positions but often overlooked when recognition is given are the office secretaries of Ruskin High School. Typing school letters, keep- ing office records and answering the questions of parents and students are a few of the duties per- formed by Mrs. Marcella Gowler, Mrs. Bernice Phillips, and Mrs. Dorothea Gfeller. To our secre- taries, the behind-the-scenes backbone of the school, go our thanks for their dedication to the students, teachers, and administrators of Ruskin High School. Mrs. Gowler helps keep the office records. 16 Mrs. Phillips answers a parent’s question.

Counselors Aid Students Counselors of Ruskin High have the difficult job of co- ordinating the students' school and personal lives. They help the students choose appropriate classes, aid in scheduling these classes, and if necessary re- arrange the courses. Many stu- dents turn to the counselors for help in solving their personal problems. For the first time this year, one member of the counseling staff is in charge of college affairs, Mrs. Marjorie Langford. The three remaining counselors are: Ed Johnston, senior and fresh- man counselor, Ray Williamson, junior counselor, and James Whitworth,sophomore counse- lor. A major function of the coun- selors is to administer the battery of tests given to Ruskin students. After the results of these tests are received, the counselors interpret the scores using them to help the students plan their courses and their future. ED JOHNSTON B.S.Ed., M.Ed.
