Counselors Guide and Direct The purpose of the guidance department is to help the student to attain a better understanding of him- self during his high school years and to prepare him to meet the challenge of the years after graduation. The duties of the guidance counselors include help- ing students with problems concerning school, giving personal guidance, vocational guidance, information about colleges, and settling youngsters’ problems in general.” At JUS we have three state-accredited guidance counselors: Miss Elsie Evans, Mr. A1 Rosenberger, and Mr. Bernard Gregory. In order to achieve state accreditation, one must have a master’s degree with 18 hours of instruction in counseling. Miss Evans, Director of Guidance, has been a counselor since the department was organized 20 years ago. Prior to this year the counselors have held the title of “Deans.” This title was changed because “ 'guidance counselors' sounds more friendly.” Mr. Rosenberger joined the department last year, and Mr. Gregory became a counselor at the beginning of this year. M iss Evans says of her job, “It is a strange job — as strange as every individual is different from an- other.” In addition to counseling, the guidance de- partment keeps the attendance records. Its most im- portant function, however, is to “take care of students’ needs outside the classrooms.” Al Rosenberger, Guidance Counselor Bernard Gregory, Guidance Counselor Els e Evans, Director of Guidance.
