As usual, this year counselors are helping students look at their past records, their strengths and weaknesses and the many pressures that affect their decisions. Increased emphasis is being placed on career planning and on alternatives to college. A college night for parents is regularly held in the fall; and a program on alternatives to college, later in the year, is new this term. Students are also finding more group work available this year, either with a counselor or with a counselor and the school psychologist. Such groups discuss affairs of concern to all adolescents. With a psychologist and a nurse available for a full day each week, counselors encourage students to take advantage of the expertise of these specialists. The visiting teacher and the vocational rehabilitation counselor also provide useful services. All counselors maintain up-to-date lists of outside agencies that may aid students. Counselors also help students by acting as consultants to teachers and parents, interpreting test scores, phases of growth, and other concerns. All these services help students understand themselves and their work so that they may make decisions which lead to maturity. Concerned mood depicts Mrs. Porter.

Mr. James Edmondson Mrs. Ann Grimes Miss Cynthia Keeling Mrs. Marie Wilson The addition of new machines, courses and personnel provided the English department with all the essentials necessary for structuring a good program. The revival of an old course, World Philosophical Literature, taught by the newcomers Miss Keeling and Mrs. Wilson, should prove most beneficial to all those involved. The acquisition of a video tape machine will make possible the showing of such classic films as Hamlet and Macbeth to British Literature students. This modern provision should add an interesting new twist to the classroom. The future holds a considerable change for the English Department and T.D. students. Next year, all English electives will be taught during one semester and all required courses during the other. It is hoped that this change will eliminate English scheduling problems.
