Miss Christine Massie Guidance Counselor If numbers are any indication, the guidance office was among the most popular places for seniors this year. Not the least reason for this was our ever-available counselor, Miss Massie, who always managed to reduce our earth-shattering problems to more realistic proportions and then help us solve them. If we, at times, felt she expected too much of us, it is only a reflection of her general op- timism and good cheer, which somehow made our futures seem a little less frightening. We only hope we can carry some of her goodwill with us into the years ahead. Bradford Bachrach Miss Elizabeth Kelly Social Advisor One of the most important aspects of high school life las any Fre«hman can tell you) is the Dance. For three consecutive years, Miss Kelly has borne our pre-Sophomore Hop, Junior Promenade, Senior Reception hysterics with wisdom and patience; and has helped to make all our social functions truly memorable affairs. We thank you. Miss Kelly, for working to help us play. II
