Miss DeLoney reads letter of importance to the Student Council. “May I help you?” The cordial inquiry made by guidance counselors, Miss Dorothy DeLoney and Miss Elsie Parker, finds a ready response from students, teachers, and parents. Students may ob- tain counseling in program or in personal problems by making an appointment with either counselor. Assisting the students in self-discovery and in making college or vocational choices is an impor- tant function of the guidance department. Another sendee is the distribution of information pertinent to college board application, entrance examinations, loans and scholarships. Miss DeLoney and Miss Parker also plan school activities, supervise the clinic, and work with the administration and with the faculty. Especially attractive to the students is the spa- cious library. Its varied selection of books appeals to a wide range of tastes. Newspapers and maga- zines provide materials for current events.
