This is vvhat the counselors' office looks like on any given day. To a casual onlooker, the duties of the counsel- ors may seem confusing and complex. Working out school programs . . . fitting students into classes . . . assisting you to understand and solve your school problems . . . pointing you in the di- rection of a higher goal . . . helping you to plan your future . . . vocational guidance . . . tests and conferences . . . iob placement . . . Always offer- ing a helping hand, whatever the task may be, and alvvays interested primarily in YOU . . . But requests like these do not make their iob any easier - Please change my study hall from second to fifth period. I have nothing to do sec- ond, and I can do it better fifth. l'l'd like my entire course changed, but if it means a different lunch period, forget it. The counselors are a special service to you the student. Their work means a happier school life for all of us. ll
