George Novak Elizabeth Burianek l Alice Anderson Donald Wagner n 07,144 Counselors JQJW-ff W' M Counseling in action with Miss Anderson, our new counselor, and Kay Nystul. -1g- The primary aim of the guidance pro- gram is to utilize and develop special services designed to further the learning of the indivi- dual to the maximum degree of his interest, usefulness and ability. Counselors have a number of functions: orientationg testing programg record-keepingg job placementg information services on the student himself, on careers ,on further educa- tion and trainingg evaluation and follow-upg and counseling. Most of these services are self-explana- tory. Counseling, to which the most time is giv- 'en, may be clarified in this way: counseling assists the student in becoming increasingly self-directive and self-reliant. The counselor tries to help the student take the following steps: 111 to define or recognize the task, choice problem with which he is facedg 121 to study various ways of dealing with it or living with it if it can't be changedg Q35 to plan a course of action and 143 to review or evaluate the re- sults of the action and then try still another new plan if those results are not satisfactory. Counselors sometimes initiate appoint- ments with students, but most Washington people voluntarily use these services.
