Counseling Facilities Expand With School Growth When Western Oaks opened six years ago, there were 1019 students enrolled. This year there are almost 1500. One counselor was sufficient to take care of the students when the school opened, but the counseling duties have increased steadily, and three counselors were required to take care of so many students. Not only were more counselors necessary, but a new room had to be provided for them and their secretary, lVlrs. Mary Lee Wooden, and their aides. The counselors stated their purpose for being there as follows: To help students to make the best possible ad- justment academically, socially, and emotionaIly. They are not just schedule changers as some students may think. They give each student in school an ability test, grade them, score them, and strive to place each student in subjects and levels where they can work best and achieve. After the testing program, they discuss the scores with each student and counsel them accordingly. Personal problems are also taken care of as well as re- feral for specialized help, such as psychological counseling, and arrangements for parent-teacher conferences.
