Finding the counselor's office a peaceful place for study, Mac Fulton makes good use of his time while waiting for a con- ference with Mrs. Kidd. Known to all as Putnam City's own Great White Fa- ther is Mr. Hugh Coonfield, senior counselor. Helping solve the many problems of upperclassmen for the past eight years, Mr. Coonfield has earned his title through hard work and diligent service. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, A friend is a per- son with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. He must have been referring to our junior counselor, Mrs. Juanita Kidd. Interested in individuals as well as their problems, Mrs. Kidd has earned love and respect from all who know and work with her. Serving as OEA President this year hasn't kept her from her duties at PCHS, but has just added to the honors of a most deserving person. Guiding sophomores through their second terrifying year of high school is Mrs. Cathryn Batson, sophomore counselor. Enrolling new students and working on test- ing programs are only a few of her many activities, but offering a friendly smile and worthwhile advice to PCHS underclassmen is about the most deserving, pleasant, and most appreciated duty that has been placed upon her shoulders. COUNSELORS Mr. Coonfield Mrs. Kidd Counselofs Guidance Gives Confidence To Youth Paula Morwood, Nancy Lott, and Buni Pendleton take advan- tage of facilities provided by the counselor's office.
