Mrs. Anita Landry, Mr. Max Barack, Mr. Stephen Kosano Miss Jeanette McNeal What classes to take? What career to be plan- ning for? What college to attend? These questions are asked daily of our counselors who help us find the answers. Mrs. Landry places many of us in re- sponsible working positions and takes charge of vo- cational instruction. Mr. Kosana supplements his many other duties by co-ordinating all class tests. Mr. Barack adds counseling orientation to his other duties. Our three counselors give freely of their time and their knowledge to help us make important de- cisions. The clerical work in the counselor ' s office can really pile up, and Miss McNeal, LoSaile ' s STEP-girl, handles it efficiently. She is always busy, but is ready to greet students with a cheery smile. 29
