PEER COHN,SET .INC raises confidence of freshmen The peer counseling program is de- signed to welcome incoming Fresh- men and make their transition into Schreiber as smooth as possible. In the peer counseling groups, which met once a week during the first semester, topics such as pressures, insecurities, school and socially related problems, and other matters were discussed. At some meetings the guidance counsel- ors left the room allowing the students to discuss more personal problems with their peer counselors. Guidance counselor Barbara Tuck stated the benefits of peer counseling, “The freshmen in my group really respond- ed to the warm smiles and encour- agement of the upperclassmen.” (above) First time counselors learn that helping others can be amusing.

OPEN HOUSE “where’s room 217?” Open House proved to be a confus- ing evening for many of the parents. Emily Davies, who helped parents find their way, said, “Most of the parents wondered how their children ever found their way around the school.” The classes, which were only ten minutes long, were just long enough for the parents to get a good idea of what their children’s teachers were like. “Open House is an interesting experience. It enables you to put faces with the names of teachers whom your child either laughs at or complains about,” said Mrs. Ash about the eve- ning. Between classes, the parents had many options for their free time: talk to their childrens’ teachers, enjoy re- freshments in the cafeteria, or take a stroll through the lobby and view the numerous activities which were set up. Among those activities which were represented at Open House were: Schreiber Times, Human Relations Committee, Kaleidoscope, and Port Light. (left) loan Corbo represented the Honor Society.
