Lincoln Herm has found something to interest fellow counselors Berneil Maxey, Ruth McNeill, and Don Schrader. Josephine Rodgers and Ron Miller also are engrossed in a problem. Here Are The Young In Heart Youthful enthusiasm is the key to good teaching, former Supt. E. W. Montgomery used to tell his faculty members. And it still is, declares Director Poorman, of the Citizen- ship and Counseling Department. Unless the counselor is able to put himself in the same frame of thought as his troubled student visitor, he can have only one point of view-little understanding of the student or real trouble. Counselors vicariously live the school lives of 4500 students. By channeling their advice in the right direction they can see many happy students leave their offices to tackle their problems, Of course, teenagers are one of the major interests of the counseling staff, Keep- ing up on the latest literature and techniques is an interest all of them follow. They give sound advice, follow through to check results.
