When one needed information about colleges, one woman sat content at her desk with shelves of information neatly filed behind her. In the desk second from the left hand corner of the counseling office, sat Marion Chiossi, the college advisor. She was always available to aid in career decisions and recommended classes to back up those decisions. Her advice could be vital to a student and his future, so her job was taken with extra care. The future, was a time thought about regularly by the counselors. For they played key roles in the present, which would undoubtedly affect the future. Any whim of in- decision, any how, when, why, where, or what, were accepted ea- gerly by Aragon's devoted coun- selors, people always there who could be counted on.

This, among other things, was the job of the school record clerks, Mrs. Swann and Mrs. Rosenbaum. Their eight- hour-a-day job included record- keeping, making reports, and en- rolling new students. In addition to this, they worked with the dean and assistant principal in handling truancies. But the up and down job had its rewards, the best part, according to Mrs. Swann, is dealing with the students, because if it wasn't for the students, there would be no schoolf' Through their experience, the two ladies in the office have be- come experts at spotting phony notes, and at distinguishing the nu- ances in pitch between parents' voices over the phone and the voices of students posing as par- ents. 225 1 26 f Attendence x ing? s qpuvnul-vw pdl ,.,. .M-,........, QW..-.- Though truancies remain a problem, especially 4th and 5th periods, Mrs. Swann believes that monitoring and enforcing school attendence policy could help improve the attendence re- cord.
