Counselors Perform Fortune Telling Feats The fine art of fortune telling was practiced almost daily this year by Woodrow’s three guidance counselors, Miss Helen A. Parsons, Mrs. Mozelle Newton and Mrs. Jacqueline Conlce, all of whom have helped students to get a glimpse of their preferred colleges and careers ahead. First on the counselors’ list of activities was a series of personal meetings with pupils, helping them to know each as an individual. Also included in their many responsibilities was the distribution of literature on various universities, college entrance exams and career opportunities, all directed at preparing students for the future. The Woodrow counselors’ highest aim was to impress upon all students that it is not by chance but by work and careful planning that their goals may be reached.
