At a planning meeting counselors compare notes, talk shop, and drink coffee. Corna Lukaszewicz ponders over the many college catalogs in the library. COUNSELORS AID STU- DENTS IN THEIR FUTURE n order to help the student make the right decisions for his future, the Counseling Department offered every opportunity to aid him. During College Night juniors and seniors were given general information about college. Throughout the year representatives from over 100 colleges make presentations, answered questions, and distributed literature. School-sponsored trips were again taken to the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and Colorado State Col- lege. Also, new catalogs from hundreds of colleges were available in the counseling office and the library. Filmstrips and the view deck machines were used ex- tensively this year to show the variety of vocations available. Under the direction of Mr. Carl Roberts, counsel- ing chairman, year-round guidance including academic and personal problems was given to every student. The planning and selecting of a student's schedule was a major job of the counselor. Offering the best advice and suggestions to aid the individual student, each counselor was instrumental in the planning of an interesting and productive year.
