Sympathy and authorit Miss Grace Curtis, director of residence counseling, stated that hall instructing, co- operating, administrating and advising com- prised the four main responsibilities of residence hall counselors. As faculty members their quali- fications paralleled those of a teacher. Many of the counselors received graduate training in guidance andcounseling, and, though not a necessity, teaching experience and personnel Work helped to provide strong backgrounds for their positions. The residence counselors lived on campus for ten months, arriving for a workshop one week before the Faculty Fall Conference and leaving three weeks after commencement in order to complete personal reports. As administrators the counselors kept ac- curate hall records, seeing that hall functions, such as house council and standards committee, were performed smoothly. The counselors worked in cooperation with Miss Curtis. ge Q Miss Grace Curtis, director of residence counseling, provides a new home for 2000 girls each year Residence Counselors: Miss Naomi Holt, Miss Anna Kohler, Miss Ann Northcutt, Miss Grace Curtis, Mrs. Josephine Graham, Miss Rose Lee Carter, Miss Grace Allardice.
