Counselors Aid Student Progress Miss Virginia Hurst. Mr. Ned Mclver. Mr. Eugene Lucero Miss Effi emi Spiliotis Helping students select courses that will enable them to achieve a high level of education is just part of the many duties of the counseling department here at Ayer. The counselors work with each student personally so that he can develop intellectually according to his own ability and desire. Their job begins even before the teachers, for they are the first to greet the incoming Freshmen, giving them advice that Will help them through their four years of high school. And for many their influence does not end with graduation, for through their guidance many planned their future. Many students have obtained their goals aided by the advice of these people. Because our counselors' concern for their students goes beyond their years at Ayer, Mr. Mclvcr, Mr. Lucero, Mr. Nicolai, Miss Spiliotis and Miss Hurst devote many hours counseling, advis- ing and motivating our students.
