Her advice to the Class Coun- selors Provide Services At All Class Levels Schreiber's Guidance Depart- ment was kept busy by this year's seniors. Organizing mini- college days so seniors could talk to college repre- sentatives. offer- ing college and vocational advice to seniors, and working on col- lege and business recommendations took up much of the counselors’ time. However, the counselors still managed to find the time to help the rest of the members of the Schreiber com- munity who had academic or per- sonal problems. Helping juniors recognize the importance of their penultimate year at Schreiber and assisting sophomores in adjusting to their new environment were among the tasks which the guidance staff handled with aplomb. 28

BOB ALBERT: To offer a prize for doing a deed is tantamount to declaring that the deed is not worth doing for its own sake .

English Faculty Stresses Effective Communica- tion The English Depart- ment's goal for 1978- 1979 was training stu- dents in effective com- munication. Sopho- more Studies, Com- position, and Literary Masterpieces or Liter- ary Forms continued to be required courses for Schreiber students, the latter complementing the emphasis on com- munication by assuring that every student leav- ing the school would have a strong back- ground in classics of both English and American Literature The Department sought to meet the needs of all of Schreib- er's students in a vari- ety of programs. Busi- ness English was a popular new course for students who intend to enter the business world after graduation. In addition, a group of sophomores found the Sophomore Learning Community to be an attractive practical approach to learning. Finally, the two new reading specialists continued existing pro- grams in order to improve students’ reading efficiency. 30
