Mrs. Johnson Heads Brand New Program Eva Kizilbash, Bonnie Norrhcort, Janice Case, and Mrs. Johnson work together for the new IMT program. Individualized Manpower Training is a new program created by Mrs. Barbara John- son. Mrs. Bonnie Northcott, Mrs. Evie Kizil- bash and Mrs. Janice Case will provide read- ing instruction ranging from levels 1 to 13. They will use the most advanced materials and equipment to improve the student ' s read- ing skills. IMT will be open to students on a regular basis and many students will be able to take advantage of the facilities in their own spare time. As head of Guidance for the past five years Mrs. Barbara Johnson recognized the need for a reading program. Every time a bright stu- dent failed an academic class or did not do well in shop the problem could be traced to his inability to read. Last year Mrs. Johnson decided to resign from The Guidance Depart- ment and organize IMT. Their goal is to teach students to read effectively but the pro- gram also provides assistance in other aca- demic areas.

Brotherly Love is Human Relations Mrs Davis has a smile to go with her 10b The Human Relations Department is an integral part of TBT. Their program is designed to foster better understanding between students. Mrs. Davis along with Mrs. Wholeben, spend hours designing and carrying out programs which reduce dishar- mony among students. Brotherly love, patience, and understand- ing are just a few of the qualities they empha- size in their programs. A special human rela- tions committee is selected each year to build many of the activities. Everyone knows that anyone may call upon Human Relations for assistance in the classroom, as well as in individual situations. Mrs. Davis clowns around on her break- Mrs. Wholeben loves her job and she shows it Human Relations 61

Guidance Takes a Personal Interest Mr. Rametta plunges right into a busy schedule T.B.T. ' s highly trained Guidance Depart- ment received two new additions. Mr. Frank Richardson replaced Mrs. Barbara Johnson as Guidance Department Head and Mr. Dan Rametta joined the counseling team of Mrs. Lorraine Harvey, Mr. Maurice Hudson, Mr. Steve Smith, and Mrs. Barbara Edge, Guid- ance Secretary. Mr. Richardson, former English teacher, is looking forward to his new position with great enthusiasm. He commented to one of our reporters, that he ' s not here just for schedule changes, but also to deal with stu- dent ' s problems. Too often counselors are so over burdened by the great amount of paper work, that they lose track of what is really important — the individual goals of the stu- dents. Mrs. Barbara Johnson, former Deparrment Head, has moved into a brand new program. She is noted for her efforts in initiating new programs for T. B.T. students. ( See page 62 ) . Mr. Rametta, the newest member of the Guidance Department, feels the greatest advantage T.B.T. has to offer its students is the fact that they can get a high school educa- tion plus a vocational training certificate upon graduation. We would like to express our appreciation to the entire Guidance Department for a job well done. Guidonce 63
