Curricular Enigmas Resolved by Counselors Scheduling conferences with secretary Mrs. Mary Iensen is Counselor Mrs. Larae Hambenne. In the past decade numerous pro- gram developments have made it pos- sible for counselling experts to be trained more efficiently than ever be- fore. Exernplifying this, every counselor of Catalina's seven member staff has the equivalent of a master's degree in guidance and at least three years teaching experience. Although each staff member has only five counselling hours, more than 450 pupils and his share of clerical Work, he is never too busy to help a student solve either his scholastic or social problems. Varied career materials are do- nated to the counselor's office by the federal government and many different private organizations. This is available as an aid to the student and is especially useful to CHS seniors be- cause of an increasing emphasis on early college application or choice of vocation. Counselor Mrs. Carolyn Kemmeries discusses with junior Richard Hogan numerous curricular possibilities for his senior year at Catalina. Planning ahead, Miss Grace Hendon delineates to freshman Cynthia Merodias the entrance re- quirements of the college she plans to attend.
