The purpose of the Naval Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Program is to develop leadership and responsibility among the young Cadets of our high school. The regular classes, are held twice weekly, and are conducted by re¬ tired officers and enlisted men of the United States Navy and Marine Corps. These class meetings feature exploration into such subjects as Naval Seapower, Naval Customs and Traditions Organization of the Navy, and other topics of benefit to a future service man. Many classes were conducted on the parade grounds, where the ca¬ dets were instructed in the basics of close-order drill and the manual of arms. Under the direction of Captain George L. Street, the program was launched successfully and gave evidence of being a valuable asset to the course of study. Capt. Street, an efficient naval officer.

Mr. Sheehan speaks optimistically about a student’s future. TIMOTHY F. RING Tufts University B.S., M.Ed., C.A.G.S. Guidance Director Secretaries CAROLYN DeLONG HELEN C. SWANTON Guidance Initiates Revolving System Today, more than ever, each student must strive to complete his high school education. Our Guidance Department believes that every student should work to his ultimate capacity. The student’s own energy and initiative are directed by the efforts of the guidance officers. Periodically, the student and his guidance counselor meet to discuss his pres¬ ent status and future plans. Through these meetings the student is helped to identify a goal in life. The counselors then devise a plan leading to the achieve¬ ment of his goal. To insure closer contact with students, a revolving system of counselors has been arranged by the department. This system provides that the same counsel¬ ors accompany the class throughout the four years of high school life. At the present time the ratio of student to counselor is approximately 400:1. This conforms to the state regulation, and added counselors will help to narrow the ratio, further benefiting the student, as each counselor’s talents will be con¬ centrated on guiding fewer students.
