After leaving her wraps in the cloak room and going to collect thc material in her box, Miss Advisor starts for her room. As she moves through the halls she collects quite a follow- ing of pupils who wish to see her, and when she reaches her room she finds another group waiting for her. 1 Although much annoyed at the dusty, disordered appearance of her desk, she has to start immedi- ately attending to the different wants of the students who have gathered around her. The first may want a permanent excuse because he thinks he might get a job. After telling him to get the job first, Miss Advisor finds the next person wants to drop his math because it's too hard. She discovers that he is discouraged because he couldn't work some problems the night before and that all he needs is encourage- ment. Another student who is a complete failure ina subject wishes to drop it and is probably allowed to do so. The following pupil, who wishes a permanent excuse for fourth hour, has a legitimate reason and is granted his excuse. Occasionally a parent may be there to inquire what requirements are necessary for college entrance and if his offspring has those requirements. During home room period Miss Advisor tries to organize the material necessary for her classes during the day. The business that occupies her vacant hours depends on the time of year. For instance, six weeks before the semester ends, electives are chosen. Many students don't know what they want to take. Miss Advisor must persuade these people to take certain subjects and convince others that if they change their courses, their entire three year program will be upset. Before the work in electives is completed, programs must be made out. This is a busy time because the students have to consult each other about making their lunch hours coincide and other important mat- ters which overthrow an advisor's careful plans. As soon as the new semester begins, and the new routine has been tried, pupils storm Miss Advisor's room to get programs changed because they didn't know this teacher was going to give so much home- work, Betty didn't get the same history class as they, or Mary has a lunch hour different from theirs. For a time after this period there is breathing space, but the time soon comes again to make out failure cards and then electives. The hour after 3:30 is a repetition of the morning and is equally as strenuous. As the halls grow silent and only occasional voices are heard, Miss Advisor regards her still dusty and disordered desk and decides she will leave it until morning when there will be more time to clean it.
