J P B as ll f r L . Above: Responsible for hundreds of students, counselors find it neces- sary to devise a filing system for each student's records. Mr. Caster checks his files as scheduling begins. Counselors play an important role in a student's edu- cation. Aside from scheduling, counselors work with teachers and administrators to help insure that each students will have a valuable educational experience. Helping students select courses which will be benefi- cial for their future plans is a large part of a counselor's job. I've found my counselor to be very helpfulg he has given me much information about colleges and their requirements, commented Don Lorenzen. Since l'm not going to college, my counselor directed me to classes I could take so that I'd be able to get a job after gradu- ation, said Valarie Schurke. Aside from school matters, one can also go to one's counselor to discuss personal problems. I was having trouble with another student harassing me, so I went to see my counselor and the problem was taken care of, stated one student. However, the counselors are not always in their offices, thus making students fill out call slips. The only problem with filling out a call slip is you're not quite sure when you'll be called to the office, remarked Marc Soper. One of the principal problems is students not having the correct room number and peri- od number marked on the call slip. If a student needs immediate attention he should write 'urgent' on the slip and l'll try to see him as soon as possible, explained Mr. Sudar. Whether one is lucky enough to see his counsel- or right away or even if he has to wait a few days, the results of the visit almost always prove profitable. JUNIORS 249

Alcohol and drug habits replace study habits Hey, Mark, ya got a beer? Joan, ya wanna go out and party? This may sound like a typical television conversation, but often it is heard at schools, parties, hangouts, or any other conceivable place. Alcohol and drug abuse are very serious problems in our lifestyles today. The vic- tims come from various backgrounds of life. Whether rich or poor, black or White, the use of these stimulants and depressants is prevalent. A select group of Thornwood juniors were given an anonymous survey concerning both alcohol and drugs. The students were asked if they had ever sampled alco- hol, ever experimented with drugs, and if they thought drug use was common in school. N inety-six percent of the students surveyed admitted that they had had alco- holic beverages before, usually at parties. Of this nine- ty-six percent, eighty-two percent said they only drink sometimes and eighteen percent hardly drink at all. The second half of the survey was devoted to narcot- ics. Ninety-seven percent of the students surveyed felt drug use was rampant at school. Although so many ad- mitted that there is a drug problem, only seventy-five percent said that there should be punishment for these acts. Surprisingly only forty-five percent of the stu- dents surveyed admitted to ever having experimented with drugs. Help is available for people who are faced with alco- hol or drug abuse problems. Various workshops which have both group and individual counseling have helped students in high schools around the nation. Programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Drug Abuse and Addic- tion Information, and the Alcoholism Institute for Re- covery found in many hospitals, have assisted people of all ages to stop destroying themselves with drugs and alcohol. Sue Sobocinsk M S Above: Alcoholism has become a serious problem with many high school students. Alcohol effects not only social lives but also school work, and can cause fatal results.
