COUNSELOHS SECRETARIES were a great help to the busy counselors. Their duties included taking care ot attend- ance, answering the phone, taking mes- sages, and providing answers to the nu- merous questions of students. Through- out the year, they sent out registration slips and wrote oft-campus permits. The eight secretaries, serving sixteen counse- lors, met once a month to discuss meth- ods of improving efficiency Within the administration building. The GIRLS' COUNSELORS were both close friends and inspiring leaders to their students. They discussed personal and scholastic problems with each indi- vidual. The counselors provided understanding and guidance, offering their assistance to girls in choosing academic courses and extracurricular activities according to interests and capabilities. The BOYS' COUNSELORS registered their respective students, arranging their schedules according to ability, aims, and chosen vocations. Counselors ottered each individual time, interest, and experience in solving problems and kept personal records of students' activities, attendance and test scores.
