On Movember 18-21, thirty Wa-Hi students participated in this year ' s musical, “Bye Bye Birdie. In preparation for this play the students put in a great deal of effort and time. Over sixty people audi¬ tioned for the play, but the cast was narrowed down to thirty. The ' Birdie ' orchestra also was composed of over twenty people, who provided the music to which the cast sang and danced. The cast met everyday after school for 2 hours and met at night for 2 to 3 addi¬ tional hours of dance. The di¬ rector again this year was Jim Michelson, from Whit¬ man College. Ida Lee tlut- son-fish choreographed the cast ' s dance scenes. Paul Dennis and Qlen Mitchell di¬ rected the cast in the musi¬ cal aspects of the play. The cast and crew of “Bye Bye Birdie did an excellent job. Their hard work and de¬ termination paid off. Tickets sold out on two nights. On Friday and Saturday, 25 ex¬ tra chairs were added to ac¬ commodate the people who wanted to see the play. TYO TOP: ticten and Suzic comer Ah bed during ' Put on a Nappy Pace.

Below; A student receives help from Mrs. Kay Jamison, counseling sccrc taty ' . This year at Walla Walla High School, three counselors and one administrator are fulfilling the counseling duties. The department is one part of the total high school staff that operates on a basis of helping turn out graduates who are ready to take their place in an adult soci¬ ety as self-sufficient members and able to give direction to their own lives. Each student is assigned a counselor by grade level. It is Wa-Mi ' s policy to have each counselor keep the same group of students throughout their high school years. The counselor ' s role is — to help students reach their educa¬ tional, vocational, and personal goals. — to help students understand them¬ selves, their abilities, and their limita¬ tions. — to help students realistically take a took at themselves. — to help students make logical decisions about their future. The physical structure of the counseling department has undergone exciting renova¬ tion. Larger offices with more privacy and new traffic flow offer better access of services to students. Centrally located on the campus is the new career planning center which is open daily to all students. The curriculum offerings at Walla Walla High School are many and varied. Students are given the opportunity to develop skills, which can either lead to employment directly after high school or a continuation of their study in a post high school educational insti¬ tution, In other words when a student gradu¬ ates from Wa-Hi he she should be able to go to work or have the skills necessary to contin¬ ue his education beyond high school. The Wa-Hi graduate should know the meaning of and have skills in decision making, problem solving, interpersonal relationships, commu¬ nications, physical and mental health and the basic academic areas. Students are helped by parents, teachers and counselors in planning their educational program for Wa-Hi and beyond. This process begins in the eighth grade. Students are helped to p lan and build a schedule accord¬ ing to their needs, interests, and abilities. Stu¬ dents are informed about course offerings and registration details in small group ses¬ sions followed by individual appointments with a counselor. During the one-on-one counseling sessions, career goals, college planning and personal needs are addressed as well as making specific course selections. The student ' s course selections are then en¬ tered into the computer and the computer actually creates the student ' s schedule.
