Se- lior counselors Lorene Stone and Gerald Morrison as- isted seniors in planning realistic goals and advised hem in areas of college planning, scholarship applica- lons, and a successful future. Mr. Garrol Becker, junior ounselor, felt that there were a number of students hat could have benefited from verbalizing their prob- ems, but had a tendency to withdraw. Mr. Becker was lways available to any student who had trouble, and he mphasized the importance of staying in school. Mr. Lee ililliams joined with Mr. Paul Foster to acquaint sopho- nores with the school, the educational program, and the taff. Mr. Williams felt that since he was also new to Louth, he could easily see why sophomores would feel pprehensive about such a large school. An objective of llr. Foster was to reach more students and work with hem in a significant way. The duties of the social work- rs included working with students and parents on prob- ems preventing smooth and continuous involvement in he educational program. This was the job of Mr. James ilineinger and Jim Benson. They worked on the develop- nent of programs directed at reducing the drop-out rate. lne of these programs was the Big Brothers and Sisters lrganization.
