P91- 's , T, tl 1... Nw ' A' 1 , Counselors Arid Students The high school student encounters many problems, both academic and personal, during his five years at Sylvan. Our counselors are kept quite busy helping the students to find solutions for their problems. When the eighth grader enters Sylvan, he is faced with the problem of adjustment. This is when the coun- selors urge him from the beginning to work hard to make good grades, and to really learn something. When the student becomes a senior, he encounters numerous problems such as having the correct credits needed to graduate, getting ajob, gaining college admis- sion, obtaining scholarships, and many others important to his future. The counselors help him patiently through this busy year. In all matters, the counselors strive, not to solve the student's problem for him, but to help him find the solu- tion for himself.
