gem. Brian James, a member of the J.V.A.V. FRANK MALESKI C.I.T. Tunes in on T.V. This year the Audio-Visual Department began its year with a new name, Center for Instructional Tech- nology. Directed by Mr. Frank Maleski and Mrs. Mary Lou Thayer, C.I.T. was responsible for the main- tenance, operation and distribution of all communi- cational equipment at SPFHS. Much increased facilities enabled the department to explore areas of communicational technology in greater depth. C.l.T. continued its services in graphic arts, photographic material, video taping and elec- tronic equipment. Video taping has presented tre- mendous opportunities to SPFHS. It was possible this year to tape assemblies, class plays, pertinent speeches and ta make special T.V. shows to edu- cate the student body. Such a field is wide open for expansion and through this media, C.I.T. takes an even more vital part in the educational process. These twenties look a little smeared. Jeff Taylor, Brian Newman.

LORAINE AYERS BRENDAN CROSBY Mrs Christine Casey, Mrs. Grace Macaulay, Mrs. Marion Escoffier. Media Center Offers New Learning Experiences This proved to be a year of change for the Media Center, which was formerly referred to as the Li- brary. The new two-floor Media Center is located in the center of the new addition at SPFHS and is completely removed from its former facilities. lt was equipped with comfortable chairs, new equipment for students' use, and enclosed desks which contributed to a more relaxed atmosphere for better studying. On the second floor of the Media Center, along with much reference material, are the new academic department rooms and their respective independent study areas. To increase scholastic efficiency, each department was placed adiacent to its related refer- ence materials. Cross-media kits, the copy machine and other visual and oral media, available for the students use, enabled students to find learning a more interesting experience. Are you sure that looks like my handwriting? Rich Haase, Linda Torkelsen. W How 'bout that, Fanwood is listed in the world almanacl Kathy Greenly. ,,,Qa-,.,...f ..,

t 40 Guidance Expands Assistance in Vocational and College Selection Under the direction of Mr. Arnold Neuberger, the Guidance Office became more than a place to meet with one's coun- selor, it became a place where important decisions were dealt with in new ways. For the first time the Guidance Department provided oppor- tunities for students to see New Jersey colleges. On Saturdays buses left for visitations to schools such as Rutgers, Fairleigh Dickinson and Rider. Career lectures were also initiated this year. Every Thursday, fourth period, students could attend sessions where speakers lectured about professions in medi- cine, beauty culture, aviation and many others. This year the Guidance Office was opened as an independ- ent study area to enable students to look at the College Entrance View Deck and the Admissions Search kit or to investigate career information. Group Guidance sessions were continued this year. The weekly discussions were not restricted to only those subjects pertinent to school, but covered such topics as religion, drugs and parents. The Senior Bulletin Board was again posted weekly, making important information available to all Seniors. The Guidance Department's new programs encouraged students to cope independently with the problems of today and the decisions for the future. This emphasis on individual involvement will hopefully be expanded as students continue to accept the challenge of personal responsibility.
