Twice each semester each counselor tries to meet with his counselee to discuss future plans and schedule changes. According to Dr. Allan Dawson, guidance chairperson, “I think we have the best staff of counselors at Edsel now than in the past. Edsel Ford students are very good students. They are very positive.” He also added jokingly, ‘‘As much as I enjoy my job, I always look foward to Friday!” Mr. Robert Munson also added, ‘i love being a counselor!

 Rt Shows peRspective The art program at Edsel offers a wide variety of artistic learning experiences to students, giving them the opportunity to explore all facets of the wonderful world of art. Aldo Ceresa, 11, expresses, “The art classes I took enabled me to explore new horizons in art that I never even knew existed.” Students seem to enjoy art class because it gives them the occasion to express their feelings through their art- work. The art instructors provide encour- agement and assistance to the students while they work on their project. The art department stresses freedom of expression and personal tastes, while helping the students learn to identify with an emotion and express it on and through their artwork.
