J ' 'id 1 ,-K f I I 0, I There's a friendly place down by IVIr. FuIton's office, and We think of it as where We go when we haven't made the right grades or taken the necessary sub- jects andfsomething must be done about itg or maybe We remember it for the time our program got mixed up, and it had to be corrected. And then there was the time We Wanted to know about possible scholarships or jobs. We Went to the friend- Iy place, the Counselors' Office. The people there are the most friendly partg they try to guide us toward more sane approaches to our problems and to adult accept- ance of jobs and college. There is no problem too large or small that a student cannot take to his counselor. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Nylen, counseling started here about six years ago. Since then there has been a regular service dedicated to student guidance. Included in this department are the senior rating sheets, the forums for compo- sition IV students about jobs for after graduation, and contacts with The junior Employment Bureau. Besides this, there is also constant supervision of underclass- men in order that they may be able to make correct social adjustment to their classes and school life. It is through our counselors that many straggly ends are picked up and rough places smoothed over. MISS CLARK MISS BABCOCK MR. KIMBALL MISS DUNN MR. SLOCOMB

V ' n e -ir ' ,W I ' ln l9I7, when the pupils and teachers moved from Lafayette to the new building opposite Hiawatha playfield, there Wasn't much enthusiasm. There was a war and the students were thinking more about it than their books. West Seattle was an expensive building-because of the time it was built, and the fact that the bricks cost so much. But the building was new, it was modern, and it was beau- tiful. Then the building had a brightness and a look of something untriedg today there is mellowness and understanding. Where there was once no ivy, ivy climbsg there are dips in stairs that were once even and straightg the paint has faded some. Where there is lawn, there was once none. So it is: our school is older and more beloved each year. 1 v a 4 'I'

They are the vital part of our school, the part to which we are indebted for making our school days smooth. So we give you the Administration. Some of these people are occasionally hurried and cross, other times as full of fun as your best friend. Always they are human, understanding people-our teachers. J' N -L J ik, WUAJXAJMJ
