So many had probf lems that a veterans' counselor was apf pointed in each school. Doing this, besides helping graduates apply for scholarships at universities, keeps Miss Lucille Groat busy. Sharing the same office is Miss Elizabeth Wolff, who handles students above their freshman years who enter Englewood. Once each week a psychologist from the downtown offices comes to Englewood to give tests to any students who have not adjusted well to high school. At present, this psychologist is Miss May Kernan.
