Taking time out from her busy schedule, Mrs. .Margaret Hansen stops to chat with Mr. James Hoy and Mr. Richard Oliver as they relax after their cafeteria duty. As a result of the change in the counseling system, the administrative system was also reorganized. These changes were not totally beneficial, however, since the four schools within a school concept was dropped. Consequently, grade level authority was lost along with the close communication between counselors and administrators. This was accompanied by a shift in position by some administrators. Mr. George Felton was in charge of both Freshman and Sophomores, while Mr. Carl Zaleski, an administrative aide, was responsible for

COUNSELORS RELEARN ALPHABET Mrs. Eloise Adari», previously a Freshman counselor, finds ihe transition to the al| habetical system accompanied by a heavier workload. Across the board, strictly alphabetical, or whatever you chose to call it, the new counseling system was certainly different from the one used in past years at Marshall. Previously, each counselor was assigned to students of one specific class, and stayed with them for their fours years at Marshall. Under the new system, the counselors were assigned students alphabetically, regardless of class. The main reason for the change was the decrease in enrollment because of a school zoning change. As a result, one of the counselors had to be de-staffed. With one less counselor, the “class counseling could not function and had to be dropped. Opinions varied among the counselors and students as to the effectiveness of the new system. Several counselors believed that some students, especially Seniors, might be reluctant to break their ties with their former counselors. Some students were upset about the change in counselors. Many Seniors felt that the relationship they had developed with their counselor over three years could not be redevelped in the span of a single year. A few counselors also disapproved of the fact that members of the same family had the same counselor. They felt that their impressions of one family member might influence their opinion of the others. However, the majority of the counselors approved of this because it cut down the number of families they had to deal with and it permitted them to become acquainted with the entire family. Despite its initial disadvantage, many counselors felt confident that the difficulties would be solved in the long run.

With the tightening up on attendance procedures, it was the responsibility of the Administrative Department to check every absence by telephone. This effort to reduce the number of students cutting class was effective, but the increased workload was a burden. It was evident that many counselors and administrators liked the old system better, but they did their best to cope with the new arrangements. Mr. Carl Zaleski and Mr. George Felton patrol the hall near the SCA room after receiving complaints about students disturbing classes during the lunch periods.
