Secretaries, Counselors Control Mass Confusion Beginning their duties three weeks before the opening of school, the guidance counselors found themselves busy making out schedules for Provineis nine hundred students. Then, after the schedules were completed and the students received them, the counselors were faced with the task of shuffling dis- satisfied pupils from one teacher's class to another. With a smaller pupil load these counselors were able to instruct guidance classes and thus help stu- dents develop better study habits. They also had more time to aid students in selecting their college choices, making applications to colleges, and apply- ing for scholarships. Provine's three secretaries proved to be a necessity to the smooth running of the school. Mrs. Roberts wrote letters, ordered materials, collected mone and paid bills. Mrs. Anderson maintained the teach- ers' supply room, made appointments between par- ents and teachers, and mailed special appraisals. Mrs. Maude Gresham checked the validity of absen- tees, excuses, kept daily attendance records, and managed the student'-supply store. ya
