Together with the choice of courses they also were concerned with our own individual problems. YVas our family life suited to our course, were we financially able to carry the burdens of more schooling or would it be more advisable to start working now? Of course there were those who desired to continue in the professions and had to have special training to qualify in the col- leges and universities. So you see we were most depend- ent on our counsellors. They helped us in so many ways and set us aright when we most needed guidance. YVe are indebted to these counsellors who aided us to grow and develop ourselves into the kind of individual we were best suited to be. Marjorie P. Lewis Surmzry page twenty-one
