Counselors Untangle The counseling office is the consolation comer of Groves High Where depressed students, frustrated teach- ers, and overwrought parents congregate to have many of their problems aired and resolved. Counselors must manage all this, and more. They make schedule changes, help seniors choose the correct college, and follow individual progress of students. This year counselors had to spend the first four weeks of school untangling computer-tangled schedules. By mid-October they were well into senior interviews, checking credits, college applications, grade point aver- ages, and class ranks. And, after college representatives and SAT testing dates had been arranged, the counselors were ready to advise naive sophomores, disillusioned juniors, and anxious seniors. fi 28 Curriculum Inevitable Problems CTopJ Mr. Peter Del Favero, Mrs. Virginia Dow, and Mr. Maurice Heaton examine the new vocational materials ordered from the Chronicle Press. fLeftJ Anticipating Juliann VanDeun's choice of a large college, Mrs. Marilyn McClear looks through a university handbook with her.
