Grade Level Counselors Mr. Herschel Wallace is the counselor for the 12B class. Guidance program at Edsel Ford High School is designed to cover the guidance needs of the students as comprehensively as possible. It provides for counselors to handle special problems of individuals; it also gives a place and time in the scheduling for group guidance. It recognizes the need in a larger high school for stu- dents to be recognized into relatively stable groups in which they can become well known by a single teacher and can identify themselves with their age-mates for supportive relationships. Groups of twenty-five or thirty students become known as human relations classes. Individual counseling situations grow out of the class work, but the basic purpose of the class work is to deal with the common or universal problems of high school youth. The aim of the guidance program is to develop understanding of basic conceptions and principals, which the students can apply to the solution of his own per- sonal problems.
