v MISS DOROTHY L. CROCKER B.A., Mary Washington Col- lege; M.A., West Virginia University Guidance Director Sponsor: National Honor Society HARRISON E. TAWNEY B.S. in Ed., Ohio University ; M. Ed., Kent State Univer- sity; George Washington Univ. Guidance Coordinator Co-Sponsor: National Honor Society Guidance Whether the student’s prob- lem is large or small, the guidance department always has the welcome sign out to any student of George Mason seeking advice or counsel. Even though the office space is limited, there is a constant hum of activity in this busy place. Indeed this is not the limit to the activity, for these staff members leave their offices from time to time to test students in the cafeteria or the classrooms. When these staff members are not coun- seling, conducting confer- ences, testing students, mail- ing progress reports, prepar- ing the honor roll, furnishing transcripts of grades, enroll- ing student transfers, or cor- responding with colleges, they find time to prepare for a col- lege day, a career day or the honors banquet. “There is always time for one more.” Mr. Tawney finds time in his busy day to advise Sue Levin about the college she is to attend next year. 14
