Senior Tom Rathbun seeks help in American Government from his instructor Mr. Cestaro. Four year programs in the Social Science, Science and Mathematics Depart- ments helped students prepare for after-graduation goals. Immediate application of their learning was apparent in the Science Department, as Mr. George Campbell got things started on cold winter mornings by turning on sev- eral gas spigots and lighting the flow of gas. Meanwhile Mr. James Deaver might have been making up tests with what seemed unpractical questions, but required very practical answers. Later in the day, both men instructed students in well- equipped labs, conducting experiments in general science, biology, chemistry, physics and physiology. Panel discussions, surveys and lectures, all conducted by students, sparked interest in Social Sciences classes under Mr. Gene Cestaro and Mr. Robert Gosch. Panel dis- cussions offered opportunity for free expression about history, lecturers commented on historic events, and sur- veys took in personal opinions on such sociological items as choosing friends. For the sixth consecutive year the Mathematics De- partment brought home a medal from the annual Kearney Inter-High Scholastic Contest. Taking fourth place in Al- gebra II was Susan Miller, and Sandy Wyatt received honorable mention in Algebra I. Math instructors are Mrs. Lois Hunter and Mr. Cestaro. In the other sciences, Scott Duncan won a fourth-place medal in General Science while Scott Morris received honorable mention in World History. Mr. Gosch gives a smile of approval as someone makes a discerning comment in one of his American History discussion groups.

T i Once again Mr. Haasc. principal, makes fin- al preparations before distributing report cards. 1 1 Needs and development of each student as an individual are the basic obhgations in programs of guidance counsehng and speech therapy. Mr. Gerald Wooters, guidance counselor, keeps personal files on all students, and counsels with them concerning their courses of study and future plans. He helps to intro- duce freshmen to high school through freshman guidance classes, and administers tests designed to help define a stu- dent ' s capabilities and aptitudes. Individual counseling by Mr. Al Klaasmeyer has helped some students accomplish their main goal of overcoming speech difficulties. Speech therapy helps a student to devel- op healthy, personal, social and emotional growth and to increase self-understanding. Typing information for reference forms is only one of the many duties of Mr. Wooters, guidance counselor. Mr. Al Klaasmeyer demonstrates to Terr Zciglcr how lie uses the tape re- corder in speech therapy.
