GUIDFINCE: Advice, caring touch oth G G like helping students. I taught here for four years and what I enjoyed the most was talking with the students. That's when I decided to become a counselor, comments Mr. Tom Reeve, counselor. Many students and parents think that all counselors do all day is drink coffee and talk on the phone. However, counselors have one of the hardest jobs on campus. They listen to students' problems, try to provide solutions, make schedule changes, and visit students in hospitals. If one of my students is in GFS a hospital, for whatever reason, I try to visit them and talk to them, states Mrs. Bettie Brixey, counselor. One of the jobs the guidance department assists students with is schedule problems. It took about a week to get a second hour for me, but my counselor was really helpful, Lisa Barany, senior comments. The counselors really helped me decide to go to NAU in the fall. The financial aid night they held was very helpful and provided me with the necessary financial information, concludes Julie McKim, senior. ' W , I ' -fs ii K rrrrrs c cc Counselors.

But your counselors didn't. They pilanhedg advised, and assisted you throughout the year as you prepared yourself academically. forithe future. For nine months, your life was centered' around critical hours of the educational process. As a senior, you filled your calendar with f'do,or-diet' homework dates for English and AmericanfArizona Governmentl Asa junior, you listened in on how our Founding Fathers established this great nation alongfwith how our private enterprise system worked in today's economy. .And if you.weren't doing any of these, you were probably out on the track doing fiaps in P.E. or calling up the Math Hot-Line to help youjwith that geometry problem that seemed endless. Our academic program offered a large variety of educational interests to suit everyone. With such a school enrollment as ours, students' interests ranged from Performing Arts to Home Economics to Vocational Trades to Business and Mathematics. Others excelled anywhere from R.O.T.C., science, and Reading to Journalism and Foreign Language. And yes, there were those rough moments throughout the year. But without them, you wouldn't have matured or gained the learning experience you now have. Take a moment to reflect on how your Science teacher gave you that extra tutoring. Or how your English teacher stayed after school with you to help you make-up that vocabulary test. All year, your teachers and you were like a team striving to enhance your intelligence. Why all the fuss over just academics? Well, without any of this, we wouldn't be able to have much of a future. ln just a few years, it will be us leading the world into new challenging horizons. So yes, all that hard effort you put in that algebra test or English final will pay off later - more than you'll ever know. Academics. Divider j 43
