N.. Q tigi E I at Ng M' tr . - I secretary helps counseling staff As school began, counselors were busy rescheduling many students and getting to know others. They talked to ILA classes, explaining the system of units and credits. Under the guidance department, numerous tests were administered. Students took SCAT-STEP, PSAT, National Merit, and SAT tests to deter- mine their aptitudes and achievements. As senior counselor, Miss Smith advised seniors about the colleges they wished to attend and the entrance requirements. Mrs. Howell was in charge of the juniors, and Mrs. Hodnett and Miss Read met with sophomores. With the addition of a secretary, Mrs. Hofer, the counselors could. devote more time to students. The secretary took care of. all clerical duties such as collecting money for PSAT and typing students' transcripts. 1. Miss Odell V. Smith 2. Miss Martha B. Read 3. Mrs. Hofer 4. Mrs. Meda Howell 5.

punctuality is taught to pirates by coach morris Attendance dean, Mac Morris, kept an accurate check on tardy and absent students. A pupil tardy to school or class presented his excuse to Mr. Morris who decided if the reason was legitimate. Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. Nichols, and Miss Rankin assisted Mr. Morris by writing admit slips, filling out grade cards, and approving excuses to leave school. Students who wished to become office assistants filled out applications giving reasons for their interest, and included a teacher's name for reference. Mr. Morris then reviewed the applications and selected his student assistants. About 16 students worked there each semester. 1. Mr. Eugene McGregor Morris 2.
