ENTHUSIASM, CARE AND UNDERSTANDING The counselors devoted their time to guiding students toward a successful life after graduation. They assisted students in choosing useful classes that were helpful at HVJ and would be in college and in the future. They also assisted students in solving their problems. To help students in choosing their future vocations, they sponsored Rotary Career Day in November. On that day outstanding community people talked to students about their different professions. Mr. Fields was counselor for the ninth grade, Mrs. Hollowell for the tenth and eleventh grades, and Mrs. Preetorious for the twelfth grade. Mrs. Patton was the always efficient and smiling secretary.
