Going first class - invitation only W ith over a thousand students and only three counselors, getting an appointment was often next to impossible. As a solution, the administration set up a daily 30-minute peri- od to give students a chance to get acquainted with the faculty. Each day after fifth hour, students went to advisement - a class reminiscent of the homeroom. For many this provided a needed break in the day. Advisement served many purposes. It gave students a place to feel more at home, a chance to relax, and a faculty member with whom they could more closely communicate. Advisers were the perfect people to smooth over prob- lems with grades or attendance, and helped with schedul- ing and graduation requirements.
