guidance department THE GUIDANCE STAFF — From left: Miss Mason, Mrs. Kostyal, Mrs. Muire, Mr. Fleet, Mrs. Palmer, Miss Atkinson, Mrs. Oliver. The Guidance Department, supervised by Mrs. Virginia Kostyal, was a very essential part of Warwick High School. Miss Dorothy Jean Atkinson, Mrs. Frances Oliver, Mrs. Josephine Muire, Miss Shirley Mason, Mr. Robert Fleet, and Mrs. Palmer, dean of girls, made up the rest of the competent staff, whose main job was to help students with any problems which might arise during the school year. The duties of the Guidance Department were numerous and varied. The counselors were always ready to answer any questions the students had concerning high school credits, colleges, and scholarships. College catalogues and many other helpful booklets were avail- able to be checked out by interested students. One of the. Guidance Department’s largest projects was the sponsoring of College Day for the benefit of the Seniors who were going to college next fall as well as the sopho- mores and juniors who were considering college after graduation. Another very important job of the department was heading the many testing programs throughout the course of the year. Any student desiring information as to where he might obtain a job for the summer months, could consult one of the guidance counselors who would gladly look up the information or give suggestions of job openings. During the year, each individual pupil had a conference with one of the counselors for the purpose of discussing future plans after graduation. A vital part of the Guidance Department was the group of student assistants, for with- out their help this department would not have functioned as smoothly. Ann Plummer, Ann Center, Christine Vaughn, Judy Hawkins, Melvin Beckner, Hilda Reeves, and Joanne Davis, as student assistants, helped the department tremendously by making appointments, filing, and doing other general secretarial work. Also they were very helpful in contact- ing new students and making them more a part of Warwick High School. Student assistants to the Guidance Staff take time out for a picture. Mrs. Kostyal confers with Lynn about the credits needed for graduation.

office staff The Warwick office staff, from left: Miss Glenda Suttle, Mrs. DeWees, Mrs. Leviner, Mrs. Crews. Very few of the students of Warwick High ever become acquainted with the people behind the scenes of our daily routine. Most of us never realize that the Office Staff is constantly at work with the interest of us, the students, in mind. The Office Staff was as follows: Mrs. Lucille Leviner, Mrs. John Crews, Miss Glenda Suttle, and Mrs. Robert DeWees. This small group was one of the most important in the school system. Not only did they carry on the rou- tine office business, but they also found time to give friendly and helpful assistance to the students. They worked from 8:00 to 5:00 each day, and although the office was officially closed on Saturday, they often worked then if they were needed. Mrs. Leviner, secretary to Mr. Richards, handled pupil attendance records, compiled and typed the absentee lists, ordered office supplies, and supervised the student assistants in the office. In charge of bookkeeping and handling of all money was Mrs. Crews, who kept accurate accounts of each of these de- partments. Miss Suttle was responsible for sending the senior transcripts to the colleges. She prepared all the folders and records for incoming pupils as well as the daily bulletin. Mrs. DeWees, receptionist for the office, answered the telephone, relayed messages, and took care of typing and correspondence. We, the students of Warwick High School, thank the Office Staff for their service to the student body. 2 !
