Inspire Students To Set High Goals Mrs. Muriel Dillon R.N.; Lewis Gale Hospital School of Nursing; School Nurse Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Featherston B.S.; Virginia Commonwealth University; Guidance Counselor; Pep Club Sponsor Proving to be an invaluable asset, the guidance de- partment of Franklin County High School was always willing to advise and direct students. Three devoted counselors offered meaningful advice to any student who faced an “insurmountable” problem. Each counselor helped students choose a curriculum and inspired them to set high goals and to strive to attain them. Preparing character references, college transcripts, and job recom- mendations as well as executing achievement tests were among the numerous tasks tackled by the counselors. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Featherston, newest member of the department, guided perplexed sophomores and aided them in becoming adjusted amid an exciting and stimulating environment. As junior counselor, Mrs. Naomi Berger was confronted with the task of consult- ing each junior and offering suggestions for senior courses. Miss Patsy Jefferson, guidance director, assist- ed many seniors, anticipating graduation, in choosing a college and a career in which their full potential would be best developed. School nurse, Mrs. Muriel Dillon offered words of comfort and encouragement as she ad- ministered to all who became ill or were injured at school. With a dual performance of sound thinking and direc- tion, the guidance department proved to be indispens- able. The school nurse and counselors aptly handled each problem with confidence and reassurance. These dedicated faculty members made FCHS a much more pleasant school. Miss Patsy Jefferson B.S.; M.Ed.; Radford College; V.P.I. S.U.; Guidance Counselor; S.C.A. Sponsor
