With the thought of seeking advice, help, or en- couragement, students unhesitatingly seek the aid of those who are experts in such matters — our counselors. Even though the counselors liberally extend their assistance, they have another important as- signment — to issue absence slips, whether it be for tardiness, truancy, work, or sickness. They meet the demands of all students In the counseling office a file containing schol- astic achievements, activities, and the character of counselees is maintained. Catalogues from all the major colleges of the United States enable a student to intelligently discuss a college when its representative is brought to him by the coun- seling office. Striving to maintain the best principals of life — such is the work of the counseling office. Miss Leona L. Soehren. director of counseling.

T It 1 T IIIH February 25. 1946 To the Class of 1946: It seems almost impossible to believe that you have so quickly completed your three years of senior high school work and that you are now standing upon the threshold ready for your exit as a graduate. In your high school days, you have felt the impact of a terrible war and you have experienced the joy which has come to many of your homes and to the nation because the shoot- ing has ceased. Treaties have been signed but much remains to be done to win the peace. You are to have a large share in bringing this to pass to the end that you and your posterity may live happily in your homes, your country, and with all men and nations of the world. As a class you have contributed your share to school activities and especially to the demands of your community and your country. Principal A. I. Naumann It is my hope that each of you may achieve your fondest dreams for success. I want to find in the daily task A durable sense of worthwhile work, No noted place in the sun I ask. Just the strength and will never to shirk. Sincerely your friend. Mr. A. I. Naumann. Princi- pal; Miss Ernestine Martin, office clork; Miss Birdino Steffen, attendance clork: and Mrs. Norm a Post, prin- cipal's socrotary. 11
