T ERE in programs and progress Problems, problems, problems. But I want first lunch. Why can't l have a free sixth? What happened to my fifth period gym? But surely you can do something! All these and many other woes are all too often heard coming from the bustling Counselors' Office at Alhambra High School. Not only dur- ing the hectic program weeks at the semester's beginning, but continuing throughout the entire school year these entreaties plague the thoughts and perhaps the dreams of our counselors. Charged with the conduct of a class of ap- proximately five hundred students through their high school career, the counselors become at var- ious times scapegoats, wizards, and sometimes more often than not, iust sympathetic listeners. These persons serve as guides in deciding our programs, our professions, and sometime our personal problems. Each is one person to whom all the facts of our record are available and the one person to whom we can turn for considered, reliable advice. Tempered by years of similar experiences, the counselors are able to draw from this deep well to help the student. Every prob- lem, however, is different, for the student is a different combination, a different emotional be- ing. For this reason the counselor must be more than a worker of programs, but a combination psychiatrist-friend, able to combine his experience and ingenuity into a workable pattern for a particular student. Yes, the counselor must be a special person, able to do a special iob, a vitally necessary iob, for our school.

This non-TypisT does noT find much Time To de- voTe To her unique hobby however. On her busy schedule Mrs. LuTTrell advises The Commission, The Pep Squad, and heads various commiTTees, which includes her work wiTh The American Field Service program. BuT The IargesT and mosT difficulT iob ThaT faces Mrs. LuTTrell is her work in The capaciTy of Girls' Vice-Principal. This varied iob calls for anyones using her shoulder for a good cry and absorbing all kinds of problems. As counselor To more Than a Thousand girls, The girls' vice is consTanTly meeTing new and differenf siTuaTions. Each one is handled wiTh wisdom and undersTanding of a woman devoTed To The inTeresT and welfare of The younger gen- eraTion. MR. CLAUDE MILLER Boys' Vice-Principal The Boys' Vice-Principal on The AHS campus is an odd combinafion of disciplinarian and co-ordi- naTor, buT all Too ofTen The laTTer is forgoTTen, and he is Thoughf of only in Terms of The boys' vice. Mr. Miller has proven himself, boTh on campus and in communiTy affairs, a worThy adminisfra- Tor and a fine represenTaTive of AHS's non-sTu- denT governmenf. Favoring punishrnenf neiTher capiTa'l-nor corporal, his sound and ably admin- isTered advice serves To puT many a wayward soul back on The sTraighT and narrow. Mr. Miller is highly deserving of sTudenT body respecT for his Tackling a Tough iob and perform- ing iT wiTh a consisTenTly paTienT, reasonable, and undersfancling approach-occasionally exTending himself a greaT deal above and beyond The call of duTy. Though somefimes we hesiTaTe To ad- miT iT, we appreciaTe his fair and ThoughTful guidance.
