The Guidance program offers innumeraole services for giving effective help to students making necessary adjustments to the school’s organization and activities. It also offers comprehensive help in making social and personal adjustments. The head counselor devotes full time to planning, administering, and co-ordinating the various activities and services involved in guidance. Assisting him is a college adviser who devotes at least three periods a day to helping students with problems relating to post-high school education and college admission. Placement service is also available through the Guidance department for pupils wishing part-time or after graduation employment. The placement counselor gives information about working papers and assists in completing the school record. Graduate follow-up studies are prepared by the placement counselor. The placement counselor will try to aid pupils in making an effective transition from school to work. The Placement office is room 111. Each grade has a grade adviser, and if the class is large, the grade adviser may have one or two assistants. The grade advisers advance with the classes throughout their stay at school. The grade advisers or assistants help each student plan a program of studies which is suited to his individual interests, abilities, aptitudes, and desires. Each student is given a minimum of one interview per term. If a student needs other help, advisers and assistants are available as often as the need arises. Students are urged to turn to the guidance department for information and help concerning personal and school adjustments, problems dealing with choice of schools, selection of subject combinations and sequences, vocational planning, career choice, post-high school educational plans (college, technical and special schools), job placements, and extra-curricular activities. All interviews require appointments. However, punctuality for these appointments is important to avoid conflicts with other students’ appointments. The guidance offices on the first floor and in room 311 have catalogues and scholarship information for most colleges and schools. They also make available free occupational literature (plus any other materials that might prove beneficial in terms of school and vocational decisions).—see Isserman, Laura; La Penna, Harold; Stein-holtz, Lena; Weinstein, Louise M.

Hebrew Club. The Hebrew club is open to all students, whether they take Hebrew as a subject or not. The club is conducted in English, and its aim is to introduce the student to Hebrew and Israeli literature, art, and customs. Movies and lectures aid in this instruction.

Holzman, Herman, B.S., M.A., N.Y.U.—see Music Dept. Homeroom 115. Mayhem is the word that best describes homeroom 115. From 8:20 to 8:40 daily, this room is the scene of almost unbelievable confusion and disorder. Starting with a subdued buzz at 8:00, when the first early birds arrive, the noise level gradually rises, finally reaching an ear-shattering climax at 8:30 when the late bell supposedly sounds. (One cannot be sure it actually rings, because no one in 115 has heard it for weeks). —sec illustration. Homeroom 126 (1958-1960). born on February 1. 1958. to Mabel Patton. In childhood it was an unruly group. As it achieved maturity, it was still an unruly group. Its members refused to listen to notices, pay attention to announcements, or contribute to collections. The family was disrupted when Sue Arons left for France, for a year, but in her place Alain dc Fontenay was adopted. Because the ten minute homeroom period wasn’t long enough time for socializing. Miss Patton graciously allowed her children to return after their school day for at least an hour. —see illustration. Homeroom 202. A room in the school in which homework is exchanged, hair-do’s discussed, and sports figures lambasted or praised. The chairman tries in vain to read the notices over the shouts of the students, and the teacher aids by a scream of L-I-S-SO-N. All is to no avail, unless there is a rumor about the room that we will miss a day of school for some reason or another. When the rumor proves false, the students return to their boisterous ways once more.—see illustration. Homeroom 211. Meet the roving roamers—homeroom 211, that is. It seems that the office has difficulty finding stationary quarters for this group. One term it was on the ground floor, the next, room 223; but anyone going to the latter place would have found a very literary atmosphere—room 223 was a book room. Finally, however, the confusion was resolved and the class was given its present base. —see illustration. Homeroom 321. This is a fairly new homeroom, created by the migration of students from room 323 in September of 1960. It is a homeroom of respectable size which is characterized by its wild and varied conversations which seem to gain intensity when the daily announcements are being read. Mr. Adler, our teacher and chief adviser, has the unenviable task of trying to keep this mass confusion from becoming a danger to the entire school. He docs, however, maintain some sort of organization, which keeps our early morning dwelling from erupting into complete chaos.—see illustrations.
