Good Counselors Want You To Have An To be a counselor you have to 4 want to work with students closer than just teacher to student. Larry Q Mrs. Jeanne Groff talks to a concerned parent on the phone. Mrs. Groff spends much of her time helping students with their needs. This can sometimes be a tough task! Q Mr. Larry Scott looks with dismay at a report card. This is so much better than I ever made as a sophomore. I just can't believe how times and grades change over the years. iff Years! hich of the following problems can a counsel- or help you with? aj you don't recognize any of the sub- jects listed on your schedule, by you want to go to college but can't decide where, cj you are having problems with your girl- friend or boyfriend, dj your water hose just broke on your car, eh a,b8ic. If you answered e, you're correct! Mr. Larry Scott, Mrs. Phillis Armstrong, Mrs. Jeanne Groff, Mr. Jack Anderson, and Mrs. Shir- ley Nichols were our problem busters for the 1987-88 school year. SHS counselors are ready and able to help you tackle prob- lems which fall into three main areas: academics, schedules, and any other troubles we may have. The Senior counselor had the biggest challenge of all of the counselors because she had to help them decide their future. Helping Seniors decide what to do with the rest of their lives, was the greatest satisfaction for Senior counselor Mrs. P. Arm- strong. On the lighter side the greatest satisfaction for Mr. L. Scott was .. surviving the first week of school! All of the counselors agreed that the greatest frustration of the job was not having enough time to help everyone who needs help. Those were just a few reasons for the answer being e, and there are many more. So Iet's give our counselors for 87-88 a hand for all of their hard work and dedica- tion.

This is not an easy task. lt is a BIG re- sponsibility. With 1600 students, you get 1600 different prob- lems. stated Mr. B. McClure. Our principals are also respon- sible for keeping the school in working order and avoiding as many problems as possible so the year will move more easily for them and Head Principal Mr. Tommy Hudspeth. The greatest satisfaction this year for the principals was the general rise in attendance which made easier the complicated jobs of these men.
