San Gorgonio ' s past athletic success was due to its excellent coaches who played as important a role as the other teachers did on campus. The athletic department relied on their patience and perseverance. Coach Lees who coached swimming and water polo liked to coach because it gave him a chance to develop friendship between students. I especially enjoy coaching because it gives you a chance to know students better. Coach Edgett, San G. ' s girls tennis coach, liked coaching because she liked sports. You ' re dealing with advanced kids so it ' s a little more satisfying. Football coach Duncanson liked the enjoyment of it as well as the great feeling of winning. I just enjoy working with a sport that I played in school. It is important that you go after every game as if you ' re going to win. Winning was important but it wouldn ' t be nearly as much fun without the excellent coaching staff that San G. had. What was the key to winning? Coach Duncanson thought it was the part of the in- dividual that counted. I expected the individual on the team to play as a team member and to give it his best shot all the way.

Students came across many problems in high school, and with that came the job of the counselors. Counselors were found in every high school with the determination of helping students. They counseled with students concerning gradua- tion, career goals, making adjustments of classes and new teachers, preparations for college scholarships and many other things. There were six counselors at San Gorgonio who spoke to at least 120 students a day. They each had a department which helped students in every way. Mr. Denton, head counselor, took care of students with last names A-COO; Mrs. Mendez, community scholarships last names COP G; Mr. Bianchi, state and federal grants, names H-LEV; Mr. Truss, community resources, and those students with last names LEW-PAN; Miss Wallace, proficiency tests, names PAR-SIM; and Mr. Page, col- lege scholarships, and names SIN-Z. Besides scheduling with students, the counselors helped with personal problems. It was the counselor ' s duty to make sure the students got help and advice when they asked about future plans. A typical day for a counselor was making referrals, seeing new students, scheduling and advising for colleges and careers. On each Friday, counselors met in room A- 14 and planned the counseling schedule for the week and updated each other on things that were happening. Students saw their counselors three times a year. Many questions could be answered and problems solved by taking a few minutes to make a counselors appointment. The counselors wanted to see their students succeed.
