There were nine counselors distributed among all three buildings. They talked with students in office or classroom regarding academic or personal problems. The counseling staff served purposes other than' helping stu- dents with personal problems. During the beginning of the sec- ond semester, they helped students determine their curriculum for the next year. The college-bound student had many needs fulfilled by the counselors.
