It takes much time for Mr. Corgiat to finish all the paper work. Mrs. Bowles looks up to admit a student in the office. Nurse And Mr. Corgiat Are Important The guidance counselor plays a very important part in the school, helping students pick courses that will help them in their future. To help a student choose their academic program achievement and aptitude testing must be done. Filling this job at Gillespie is Mr. Emil Corgiat. His secretary is Miss Brownie Bowles. The nurse, Mrs. Eleanor Davies, sees that the students at Unit District No. 7 are in general good health. In addition to checking out sore throats, stomach aches, and headaches Mrs. Davies administers various tests: checking eyes, ears, and throats. Both of these are important to the students at G.C.H.S. because a student cannot function well in school if he is not healthy and happy in the courses that he has chosen. 17 Mrs. Davies checks Mike Rosetto’s eyes.
