COUNSELING OFFICE SECRETARIES. Head Counselor, Mrs. Blanche Morton, poses with the office staff. Mrs, Ogi- mochi, Miss Daniels, and Mrs. Carter handle the students ' cumulative records, program scheduling, and routine report card procedures. Colleges depend upon this office to supply the necessary trans- fer transcripts.
