The year 66-67 brought much action to Warwick ' s expert Guidance Department. The problems of chang- ing schedules, PSAT’s, and College Boards were again tackled by the staff with the efficiency so well known to Warwick students. Each class was given an individual counselor to assist it during the academic year. Under the skillful guidance of Mrs. Palmer, many seniors were helped with the frustrating problems of which college to at- tend or which career to pursue. Mrs. Muire compe- tently supervised juniors with College Boards. Sopho- mores were counseled by Mrs. Quesenberry; and Mrs. Parker and Miss Macjunkin aided ninth grad- ers. Confused eighth graders learned that their best friend was their guidance counselor, Mrs. Baker. Through the experienced guidance staff, each stu- dent was considered individually and could he given advice on almost any phase of school or home life. Because of their personal interests in each student, the Guidance Department can he attributed with much of Warwick’s success. above: Mrs. Burton checks with Mrs. Palmer, senior class counselor, about college transcripts. left: Mrs. Muire studies a schedule change for one of her 1700 students. below: Mrs. Parker, counselor for the ninth grade, advises a student. 18

Office Staff Keeps School Business Running Smoothly The task of keeping a school of approximately 1700 in reasonable order was a duty of the reliable office staff this year. The too-often hectic business of the day was carried out with the experience and know-how of the com- petent staff. Remaining calm through all crises, Mrs. Ilia Hamlett made sure that all money matters, in- cluding insurance, were safely put away. Mrs. Ded- mond was responsible for the entries into the daily bulletin, the counter, and the phone. Perhaps this was why the phone was always busy! Another busy per- son in the office was Mrs. Burton, who saw that all student transcripts were sent to colleges and to places of business where students and graduates sought employment. Mrs. Leviner was a friend of every student purely because she was Mr. Starboard’s personal Secretary! This was Warwick’s office staff for 1966-67; and to whom, Warwick owes for its successful year. above: Mrs. Dedmond, general secretary, types the daily bulletin. top center: Mrs. Hamlett, bookkeeper, and Mrs. Leviner, principal’s sec- retary. marvel at the list of office supplies. 17 J

Valuable Services Are Performed By Custodians Everyday the action at Warwick started long be- fore the students arrived at school. The cafeteria staff, headed by Mrs. Barnard, was already busily preparing food for the students and faculty, who would stampede the cafeteria at the first sound of the lunch bell. The staff not only prepared meals but also, on occasions, added a sparkle to lunchtime with miniature cupcakes with various colors of frost- ing and small trinkets coinciding with the time of year. Whenever there was a problem with a jammed locker or a broken pencil sharpener, up went the cry for a custodian. Every day the patient, able- bodied janitorial staff received complaints from teachers suffering from broken windows to burned- out lights! Also under the title of janitorial staff came the trusty cleaners who were responsible for cleaning the rooms and corridors after each school day. It seemed that the custodian and janitorial staffs’ work was never done; but with their aid Warwick’s year was a good one.
