Whether a girl wished to continue into college or venture into the business world, each counselor worked with the individual, showing her how she could meet and solve her problems. As the MEN COUNSELORS guided students toward adult life, they kept a constant check on their pupils’ major and graduation requirements. Among their duties throughout the year were to encourage and assist students in developing better study habits, to encourage better behavior on campus and a cooperative attitude toward the school.
