Often when a student receives a message from his dean, his first thought is that he has done something wrong. However, the job of a dean is not merely to discipline students, but rather to help them. Prob- lems of adjustment to school life, along with personal difficulties, can easily be discussed with a dean and helpful advice can be obtained. Deans are the important link between students and faculty on any issue involving both of these groups. They realize the importance of having students’ opinions carried to the administration. This understanding has made their posi- tion vital to the successful operation of school poli at East High. DEANS—Miss Carnahan, Mr. Lambert, Mrs. Parthoens, Mr. Youngman. Lending A Helping Hand Upon entering East High School, stu- dents are given assistance in planning their curriculum. This assistance continues throughout the high school years. As the student prepares for graduation, he is giv- en valuable advice and suggestions about colleges and vocations. The counselors ar- range schedules to fit the needs of the indi- vidual student and complete school record forms for colleges. Though counselors are kept busy at these tasks, they always have time to talk over curriculum problems with students who request help. They also inform students of competitive examina- tions which may interest them and later notify students of their results in these examinations. By taking a personal interest in the students who are assigned to them, the counselors help plan an education which will best suit the individual. COUNSELORS—Back row: Mr. Low, Mr. Stanton, Mr. Tacci, Mr. McGuire. Front row: Mr. Roller, Mr. Peet, Mrs. Davis. 24
