physical, social, financial, and iust plain problems. Mr. Counselor, I Would like to take pho- tography, and World Literature, While I would like to drop chemistry, basketweaving, and English, but I have to go to college. But I could not get there on what I am taking, With my free sixth plus Work on the annual and on the MOOR. Why? Confusion at its height is the responsibility of the counselors' office. Transfers, dropped subjects, college problems, and office cards pile up on the desk of Mr. and Miss Counselor. Disgruntled students come running into their offices with all sorts of problems, ranging from the above mentioned to just plain Want- ing to visit with the students who sort the schedule cards during the first Week rush of the semester. But the job of counseling is not Without its gay points. The reflection of respect in the student's face on hearing the Wisdom of his counselor, the proud attitude of this Wise per- son When he recommends a student for a cer- tain college, and the daily requirements of said official-all churn together and add up to one student body opinion: Mr. and Miss Counselor-thanks.

llhsent-minded uhsences, heoch trips, extended snowy week ends, und delayed childhood illnesses -their province MR. BOYD DYE and MRS. GWEN REESE Child Welfare Hello, and what's the matter with you today? , . . This question strikes a familiar note to any absentee Moor. He remembers vividly that reliable telephone call which seemed to ring either as he was just settling down with the shivers and the thermometer, or else at the very moment he was about to leave for a sunny day at the beach, When ski-conditions at Baldy were perfect, the fun- loving Moor sometimes found the temptation too great to resist. The Child Welfare Department, however, seemed to miss the point entirely, and they frowned upon those cuts to the snow, which invariably led to legitimate absences due to colds, bruises, or sprained backs. But, con- trary to what some students might believe, this department had many other things to do than chase potential hooky-players. When anything troubled a Moor, they did what they could for any kind of problem. They issued work permits. They labored behind the scenes, Without minding a bit if nobody no- ticed them. lt is with satisfaction that the Child Welfare Department saw more contented, mature Moors pass from their doors, MRS. BETTY MANTLE
