Counselors at Mid High have a variety of tasks to perform throughout the year. They are kept busy with the trials and tri- bulations of the students from September to June. Their major task is to help the students in their personal and social adjustments. The counselors are continuously counseling and working on the students' educational and occupational planning. Both freshman and sophomore counselors Work on the students' schedules to ready the schedules for the final processing by the IBM computer, They try to meet with all the students to discuss their results on the Iwoa, Kuder and other tests. Group counseling is another service offered in the counseling center. The counselors meet with six to eight students to talk about anything the students Want to talk about. They occasionally visit the homerooms to present programs about counseling center and registration for classes. The counselors often meet with the parents and teachers of stu- dents to discuss the students' problems. Mr, Patrick Clement, Sophomore Boys
