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

LIBRARY STAFF The Southwest High School Library lias 13.000 volumes available to all students and faculty, and an additional 1200 hooks were purchased this past year. A series of important historical documents known as the Freedom Shrine is also located there. The library is open in the morning, during study periods, and after school. Students made good use of this resource, as shown by the fact that books were circulated more than 26.000 times. It is through the guidance and assistance of our librarians that such complete use of our facilities is possible. CLERICAL STAFF Few people ever stop to consider the importance of our clerical staff, but they certainly contribute to the smooth operation of Southwest. The clerks manage attendance, cumulative records, and all finances. They order classroom materials and program student schedules with the help of the new IBM system. Several of them serve as secretaries for the principal, counselors, and the nurse. It is easy to see that they are a vital part of Southwest.
