Faculty Counselors Show They Care I •omputers and space travel, human beings wished to have some purpose in life, a main objective for existence. The four counselors at North High School certainly have found their reason; helping the stu- dents. The v ide diversity of stu- dents at North inspires me, said Mrs. White-piper, the new counsel- or. Their ability levels range from National Merit Scholars to those in need of remedial help, and I work with all of them. Mr. Anderson felt he could list a mil- lion things that he does to help stu- dents. Mostly I want to be sure stu- dents graduate, but I want to make their lives here good, too. I help them adjust their schedules, arrange parent conferences, provide career and vocational information, and counsel personal problems. In these ways and more counselors helped students make a smooth ad- justment to high school life, and then out into the big world. Particularly concerned with stu- dents ' future after high school, the counselors did things like holding a financial aid workshop for college bound students. These kids are very important, commented Mr. Arcs. If they want to learn they should be given every opportunity to continue to do so. We help give them the opportunity, added Mrs. Post. We ' re just giving them a good foundation at North so they will have the right tools to shape with. It was obvious that these car- ing people were accomplishing their objective. As Sandra Aparicio and Denise Calver said, They raised the guality of living for stu- dents at North. ••• Looking over some newly posted district guidelines tor the School Site Council, SIP Coordinator, Mrs. Bonnie Rose prepares them for the next morning.

Not Just 9 to 5 1984-85 was Mr. Wolf ' s first full school year as a principal, yet his newly acquired title caused no difficulties for him or the school. Mr. Wolf ' s experience from five years ' work as vice-prin- cipal was apparent. However, what added more to the success in his position was the care that he felt toward the school. Committed to his position, he spent many hours after school and on weekends working on is- sues important to the school, such as the budget, policy matters, and innovative projects. He usually spends his Saturdays and Sun- days attending events and meet- ings, stated his wife, Sarah Wolf, when asked about his work hab- its. Wolf ' s dedication extended be- yond school hours. He was in the audience supporting us, said Carrianne Hayslett of the Aca- demic Decathalon at Poly. Mar- garet Shoemaker added, He was at all of the home football games and even at the Lester Oaks Competition. Wolf immediately became in- volved in activities of the school. His talents aided in his success. His solutions benefit everyone, explained SIP coordinator Bon- nie Rose. He also instituted new programs such as the Academic Booster Club, Adopt-a-School, and the Carpentry Class. His demeanor commanded the respect of the entire student body, said Reggie Stith. His rough exterior showed he meant business. Sarah Wolf added, His tough facade would not help or be effective if he didn ' t care.
