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.
