Counselors Provide Invaluable Assistance Rolling Hills High School ' s first graduating class, especially those seniors who were college- bound, were provided with invaluable assistance throughout the year by the counseling and guid- ance office. Each senior was called in in advance to discuss future plans and information concern- ing procedures and requirements for college en- trance. One of many helpful services provided by the counseling staff was the scheduling of cam- pus visits by representatives of numerous colleges and universities throughout the country. The services, however, were not limited by any means to the Class of ' 66. Counseling for the high school student begins months before he is to enter as a freshman. A general course of study is first mapped out for each individual, at the same time making him aware of all required courses. As the student progresses through his high school career, each counselor calls in his counseiees periodically to make sure that estab- lished goals and requirements are being fulfilled and that any difficulties he may encounter are alleviated.
