Can I switch history from seventh period to sixth period and cut out study altogether? begged another student. These were just a few common complaints that a counselor received on a typical day at Thornwood. Boring studies and extremely long school days were just some laments counselors heard. In addition to student's problems, the counselor's job is to guide stu- dents along the right road for the future, to aid students with their personal problems, help students register for college entrance exams, and even help students get jobs. Deans, on the other hand, are in charge of disciplining students when they need it, including the problem of unexplained absences and tardies. The paper Work is horrendous, one dean complained, but we have to keep up the records and try to keep students from cutting them- selves out of class. When a call slip was sent from the deans' office the most common comment from the students was busted! .sz ffz'-Nt Above Left: Contained in a section of the low- er library is an assortment of college catalogs and career pamphlets.

WRIGHT Home Economics Department Chairper- son While driving along the highway on Sunday afternoon, something unusual may catch your eye. A domical shaped building covered with wood shingles rests on the side of the road. Looking like something out of Star Wars, the dome is actually the residence of Mrs. Pam Deery and her husband, Ted. The Deerys are the proud owners of a dome home, a new con- cept in housing construction and design. It seems a day doesn't go by that someone isn't looking around the place and ringing our door- bell, claimed Mrs. Deery. It is very unique. The Deerys conduct tours through their house on weekends for those interested in building their own dome home. They give advice on construction costs and supplies and can also help in ordering the home. The interior of the dome has the same fea- tures as a conventional house. It is completely equipped with three bedrooms, two full baths, a living room, formal dining room, kitchen, family room, and a loft area used basically for relaxing. One unique feature is the skylight which adds interest to the dome by giving nat- ural light from overhead. Mrs. Deery re- 190 FACULTY VV' .-.qw we . M i ,,v.'?'V'- A -.f marked, It's really interesting to enter a room at one hour of the day, and then later and see the difference the sun makes. One of the most amazing aspects of the dome home is its construction time. The pre- made wooden shell, delivered in triangular panels fitted to the shape of the dome, also allows for quick and easy additions to the home. Dome homes are using thirty percent less gas and electricity to heat and cool the struc- tures. With the rising costs of utilities the dome home may well be the home of the fu- ture, fast becoming a popular alternative to conventional living. You'll see them though- out the country. Last year thirty-six houses were built and the number has since more than doubled! exclaimed Mrs. Deery. Right: The interesting shape and creative design make dome homes the alternative to conventional living. The Deerys find it to be exciting as well as economical. The design also allows for additions to be made quickly and simply. shi it-ff
