electhn CclU eA ounselors’ duties were many-sided. Most time-consuming among their responsibili¬ ties was scheduling the classes for the entire student body. They helped students select classes which met graduation, interest, and col¬ lege entrance requirements. Students often went to their counselors for assistance in.the selection of colleges and ca¬ reers. Our advisors received the latest informa¬ tion about colleges and scholarships from all over the United States, which they passed on to interested and qualified s tudents. Always available, our counselors were anxious to discuss problems or questions with individ¬ ual students. Each advisor dealt with part of the Sophomore, Junior, or Senior classes. Mrs. Volz, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Vickery were the class sponsors for tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades respectively. It was their respon¬ sibility to see that the classes were given the best guidance, opportunities, and activities. Hoover’s work counselor, Mrs. Gleason, and our scholarship advisor, Mrs. Oatman, helped students find, and take advantage of, valuable opportunities. A large debt of gratitude is owed to each coun¬ selor for cheerful assistance and understanding given to each Hoover student. Mr. Kenneth Dowell had many duties. Besides being a U.S. History 1-2 teacher, Mr. Dowel! was the A.S.B. advisor. Many other students knew him as their counselor for he was the inter¬ class advisor this year. Hoover ' s work counselor was Mrs. Margaret Gleason. She as¬ sisted Hoover students in getting part time jobs before and full time jobs after graduatitin.
