COUNSELLORS Few liigh scluMils cm hoast ot a counselling system as complete as the one in force at Santa Monica High School. Twelve members of the faculty, care- fully chosen by the Principal, have groups of students averaging one hun- dred and twenty-five members. These students meet their counsellors for the first time before they leave the junior high school, and throughout their coinsc ha e the prixilegc of receiving program guidance each semester. This plan assures the student that his subjects will be chosen to fill graduation requirements, and to meet future voca- tional needs and entrance requirements to the universities. The whole school is beginning to feel the beneficial effect of the system whicli took three years to install and was com- pleted in September, 1932. All honor to the counsellors! Ethel M.

AUOUST R. VEEXKER ETHEL .M. ROHIXSOX VICE - PRINCIPALS lis ' VI at Samohi ul Mr. A. R. Miss Etlu-l .M. Robins.,,! ' cciikcr is Boys ' Vice- Principal. Try to see one of them some busy school morning and after they have settled most every one else ' s problem in the whole .school, they will get around to you and will settle yours as well. The two sentences heard more often around school than any others arc , Go see Miss Robin.son, and I ' ll send you to Mr. Veenker . The official duties of vice-principals are to discipline the bad boys . . . and girls. supervi.se all student activities, give personal advice, meet disgruntled parents, study arious student difficulties and problems and try to remedy them. And after those lew jobs have been finished, Miss Robin.son takes care of the clubs of Samohi, in the position of general adviser, and Mr. Veenker is in charge of plajground acti ities throughout the Santa Monica School system. We .seem to be able to get along without buildings, but we ne er cmiid lio with- out our vice-principals. Mr. Veenker is the adviser for the Hoys ' Senior Advi.sory Hoard and Miss Rob- inson holds the same position with regard to the Girls ' Senior Advisor Hoard. ' Hie (iirls ' League and the Boys ' League arc advised by Miss Robinson and Mr. Veenker respectively, and both vice-principals hold counselling positions on the A.ssociatcd Stu- dent Body Executive Hoard. It may be seen that the two vice-principals are the bal- ance-wheels to Samohi ' s democratic system of student government. The students make their own decisions and enact their own laws, with occasional suggestions from tiic ice-principals. Miss Robinson and Mr. Veenker have found, that after the first preliminary organization at the beginning of each year, the students are able to conduct their own courts and hold their own meetings, with great skill.
