Counselors guide' students' futures The primary function of the guidance department was to help students, according to counselor lane Brown. Guidance is a lifelong educa- tional processf' she explained. It involves many people, teachers, parents, administrators, and coun- Counselor jane Brown looks over the mail and prepares for her daily schedule, selors who combine their knowledge and skills to assist individuals in understanding themselves in rela- tion to their environment. Northeast had four guidance counselors: Mrs. Frances Bing, Mrs. lane Brown, Mrs. Iudy Vandiver, and Mr. Duke Wells. Two guidance secretaries, Mrs. Mary Nell Thomp- son, and Mrs. Avis Wooldridge, also worked in the department. Guidance services were avail- able to all students, their teachers, and their parents, at all times, according to Mrs. Brown. Counselors did individual counseling with students concerning educational and vocational plans. They also helped with social adjust- ment and personal problems, group guidance, and assisted teachers in working with students. Mrs. Brown said that counsel- ing was one of the most thoroughly rewarding of all careers for the person who is interested in working with other people. It is fascinating to be involved with students as they move through their high school years toward what is hoped to be happy and productive lives, she said.

Specialists work for students Buried behind records, books, and files were the secretaries, librarians, and the nurse. Working in the main office were Mrs. Linda Bascue, Mrs. Marguerite Franks, Mrs. Patricia Rebsamen, and Mrs. Alice Williamson. Many were unaware of their work, much of the time, but each had a specific responsibility, and when their assistance was needed, no one else would do. just consider, who wrote your tardy passes, when you overslept? Mrs. Patricia Rebsamen. Who kept the attendance records so your 5-day letter wou1dn't be over looked! Mrs. Linda Bascue. Who typed your schedule card, and made sure you were put in Calculus and not general math? Mrs. Marguerite Franks. Who guarded your club's money, and made sure that they key club didn't wind up with their money as well as everyone elses? Mrs. Alice William- son. The library was equally impor- tant. Mrs. Elaine Carpenter, Mrs. Leoda Claiborne, and Mrs. Zephyr Horton, kept thousands of books and magazines in perfect order, so you had no excuse for late research papers or book reports. Then there was Mr. Robert Winn, who helped the students and faculty members with films and projectors. And for those who needed ex- pert medical attention, there was Mrs. jean Cook, the school nurse, who was always ready with a kind heart, or at least a tum or two.
