Congenial Counselors Coach Soundly Serious Students
Friend or foe? This is what many a student ponders as he awaits his conference with his counselor. In the personnel office he nervously scratches his arm, crosses his leg, peers at the closed office door, and silently says his prayers.

Finally when he has to come face to face with his counselor, he is shocked! There isn't a fiendish monster or an ugly ogre waiting to devour poor students. Rather there is a pleasant-looking adult eager to help with difficulties.

Counselors are provided for every student here at Maine. Their job isn't just to help you with next year's schedule. It is much more than that. Whether your difficulties are academic, personal, or vocational, counselors are available for all situations.
 This year the students are at an advantage. Each counselor has 13 homerooms consisting of 30 students. This arrangement is much better than last year's, because the counselor gets to know his students better.

There are nine counselors in all: Mr. Wayne Rosenquist, Director of Guidance; Mrs. Mildred Cress, Miss Mary Dueland, Mr. James Killam, Mr. Albert Lemons, Mr. Paul McKinnis, Mrs. Marian Pedersen, Miss Dorothy Riddle, and Mr. Sherman Roth.

These counselors have been very busy since November scheduling students for next year's courses. Only a few freshmen remain to be scheduled. The entire scheduling of students will be completed by March.

There are two kinds of conferences. One in which the counselor sends for you, and one in which an appointment is made by the student.
