Mrs. Lorraine Hansen helped A.F.S. student Can Koral plan his program. Guiding students again this year was Mr. James Norman. Arranging appointments with the counselors was one of Miss Carla Stueve's regular jobs. Senior Jan served as a counselor's office page. Counselors The Counseling Department has made terrific advances this year. Perhaps the biggest development was the organization of a Counselor Preparation Program, which functioned in much the same way as our Student Teacher Program. This year thirty-five potential counselors were familiarized with high-school counseling techniques through this program. Another change was the appearance of Miss Stueve, former member of the general office staff, as the counseling departments full-time secretary. The counselors attended to such matters as arranging career conferences, personal interviews and college orientation programs. The department was headed by Dr. Lorraine Hansen who is also the editor of Minnesota Guidelines, the statewide counselors newsletter.

 Mr. Robert Peters taught all typing and shorthand classes in addition to the new Basic Business class. Basic Business, a new course, was introduced in the Business Education Department this year. The course covered a study of the private enterprise system and a study of the consumer in modern society. Both facets of the course were linked by a continuous study of classical economics. U High used the Wall Street Journal as one of its regular reference materials. The Business Education Department also aquired four new interchangeable type heads for the electric typewriters. Because there were only enough electric typewriters for one third of the class, students worked on a rotation basis to gain experience on both types of typewriters. C.C.T.V. The Closed Circuit Television Department spent much of its time this year in compiling the material gathered during the past few years under a grant from the National Defense Foundation. Nearly two hundred kinescopes were made under this grant. The purpose of CCTV is to evaluate the position of television and kinescope for pre-service and in-service education of teachers as well as its utilization in the school curriculum. CCTV was directed by Mr. John O'Leary while Video direction was handled by Mr. Leon Laca-banne. Keeping Audio-Visual equipment up to par was one of Mr. John O'Leary's many tasks. Leon Lacabanne checked the connection between two machines. 18
