SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Working directly under the Board of Education is the Superin- tendent of Schools, who is the chief school administrator. Dr. Morgan, as our Superintendent of Schools, has realized the need of more buildings in the future and has started an active building program to overcome these future obstacles. Without the Superintendent, our schools couldnit operate with the unity they have. Our schools have gained prestige throughout the Nation. As part of one of the finest school districts, we of Samohi should be very grateful that the Board of Education has taken such a genuine interest in our school. ffmmf-- . COUNSELORS When students enter Samohi they are assigned a counselor who is of great assistance to them during their entire stay at Samohi. The advantage of having the same counselor is that he can become acquainted with the student's abilities, interests and ambitions. This acquaintanceship will help the counselor and student to plan the future education or vocation and pick the one most fitting for the student, This is one part of the job that counselors of Samohi perform. These counselors also act as teachers and can see the studentis problems from both sides. The students of Samohi appreciate the fine ,counseling they are given and know that it is the best possible. COORDINATOR OF GUIDANCE Mr. Tichenor is our fine Coordinator of Guidance here at Samohi. One of his jobs is organizing the annual Voca- tionis Day.
