The counselors tried to direct students toward courses and activities of interest and value to them. One of the projects of the counseling department this year was to present informa- tion related to each individual class at a separate parent- faculty meeting. ln this way, they were able to be much more specific in discussing each respective class. While the under-class counselors concerned themselves primar- ily with counseling students in choosing courses for college and subsequent jobs, the up- per-class counselors began discussing college and job op- portunities with the students. Mr. Rehor Counselor The State requirements class is an extension of the previous six-week driver-training course. There are now units on narcotics, alcohol, first-aid and fire prevention. 162 M ', ' J f .W ki' Miss Olsen Counselor
