Eastern Michigan College Girls' League Sponsor Counselor ARCADIA HIGH SCHOOL is very fortunate to have an excellent counseling staff to guide students. The staff advises students in choosing their course of study for their school years. Students wishing to apply for a iob may also be assisted in finding a position. Coun- selors aid students in choosing a college by interpreting test scores, grades, and achieve- ments. Arcadia has an extensive accelerated pro- gram, and the counseling staff chooses students to be placed in these classes in order to take best advantage of educational opportunities offered. A change has taken place in the manner of assigning students to counselors. Previously, students could choose the counselor they wanted. Now, however, a student is assigned to a counselor by alphabetical listing of last names and is advised by the same counselor for all three years at Arcadia High. This system is advantageous because the counselors become acquainted with students records over the years and, therefore, are better able to advise pupils. Miss Marrietta Viola has been the efficient counselor's secretary this past year.
