NURSE Mrs. MacDonald. Southwest’s nurse and special service teacher, helps to identify the physical, emotional, or personality problems which prevent students from making the l cst use of their high school years. To accomplish this. Mrs. MacDonald consults with teachers, school administrators, parents, and the students themselves. In addition to supervising student health needs, she directs the home-bound program. This plan enables students who cannot attend classes because of illness to continue their schoolwork. COUNSELING STAFF Our school counselors are responsible for a vast number of jobs. Their main concern is in giving advice and assistance to students who have difficulty adjusting to school-related problems brought about by life and growth. The guidance they give helps the student to establish goals, understand himself, and evaluate his talents and potentialities. Other daily tasks include programming, testing, pre-college counseling, and supplying scholarship information. Mrs. Frances MacDonald Miss Edna Magnusson, Miss Ann Brinley, Herbert Warner. Mr . Beatrice Undine

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL To the Class of 1966: Motion—The process of changing position. During this school year when plans for our new addition and remodeled auditorium have been going forward, it is important that we should think also of the whole work of public education as a process of forward motion. It is natural to move forward to good habits, worthy attitudes, and high ideals—all goals which have been held out for you throughout your high school years. The process of moving toward these goals has been guided and directed by dedicated professionals and supported by the citizens of Minneapolis. It is my hope that our years’ work together at Southwest has been as fruitful and successful for you in your striving toward your goals as it has been enjoyable for me in helping you get there. Best of luck to each of you! G. H. Dahl PRINCIPAL To the Class of 1066: Your upcoming Commencement is so called because it is the beginning of a new and challenging phase of your lives. The biggest change will probably be one of increased responsibility as you move toward total control of your future. High school youth are characterized by energy, activity, and motion—a fact which is properly reflected in the theme of your 1966 Wagistanian. We live in a world of almost terrifying motion. Our planes fly faster than sound. Yet motion is not synonymous with progress. It must be tempered with responsibility and have proper direction and purpose if it is to achieve desirable ends. We hope your years at Southwest will help add direction, purpose, and responsibility to the motion of youth in a fast-moving world. The l est of wishes for your future success. R. H. Classon 6
