Our advisers are very impor¬ tant people with the authority and responsibilities of an as¬ sistant principal. Pink passes, temporary admits, worthy-in¬ advance absences, help with our class activities, curricular and otherwise, a shoulder to weep on when we need it, and strong words of advice when we ' re banished from class are all to be had in those offices at the end of the first floor! Besides making life smoother for us, the advisers act as lead¬ ers of the homeroom teachers of their class assignment, be¬ long to the administrative coun¬ cil, and represent the school in all matters of concern to par¬ ents. Harold Ohlson, senior adviser, con¬ fers with students in regard to post¬ graduate plans. College-bound sen¬ iors are given the opportunity to in¬ terview representatives of various colleges while career interested stu¬ dents talk to representatives of dif¬ ferent industries. Dr. Arthur Ryden, junior adviser, concentrates on the personality and social development of the students. Marvin Ihne and Marjorie Schwab, sophomore advisers, are particularly interested in strengthening the “hold¬ ing power of the school. Blanche Suchy, our school nurse, besides keeping an eye on the health of Nilehi students, supervises the annual X-ray program and is in charge of the sight and hearing tests. Have you ever tried to keep track of 20,000 books? Well, that ' s the job of Mary Walker, librarian. Walter Duda, visiting counselor, is concerned with the needs of individual students. Whether the problems are school, home, or social in nature, Mr. Duda helps us find an answer. Dr. Lyman Smith and Aune Toivola. freshman advisers, are concerned with the testing and orientation of incoming students. Margaret de Booy is in charge of such all school services as academic placement research, student activi¬ ties calendar, scholarship informa¬ tion. and teacher and nurse ' s train¬ ing , information.
