Mrs. Margorie Langford, Mr. Ed Johnston, Mr. John Amick, and Mr. Charles Hoskins form the Ruskin coun- selor staff. Mr. Amick spends many hours going over class schedules. Counselors Guiding students toward their future goals is the difficult task of the Ruskin counselors. The future of Ruskin's students is uppermost in every counselor's mind. A new system adopted by Mr. Johnston, Mr. Amick, and Mr. Hoskins assigns each student to a counselor according to alphabet rather than class. These counselors aid students in choosing the courses which will be most beneficial in the years after graduation from high school. The college counselor, Mrs. Langford, gives students vital information on everything per- taining to college, from scholarships to student housing. Giving a wide variety of achievement tests and interpreting their scores is another impor- tant part of each counselor's job. ln addition to school guidance, students take their personal problems to their counselor for help in finding a solution. Without the help of the counseling staff the adjustment to the outside world would be far more difficult. Mr. Hoskins keeps an excited junior on the edge of her chair.
