Mr. Hile attempts to straighten out a befuddled student. A task he has grown accustomed to in his years as guidance counselor. Another duty which commands a great deal of his time and attention is the student-teacher advisor system he devised (below).
Guidance Program Reflects Growth Guidance counselor Harold Hile supervises the student-teacher advisory system, the student counseling service, student financial aid, part-time employment, and is a teacher as well. In addition to the duties listed above, Mr. Hile works with all of the student organizations in terms of their goals, their morale, and discipline. His is one of the friendly offices open to all Fort Smith Junior College students any time during the school year. It is his purpose to help each individual pupil realize his capabilities and to plan for the future. This requires that he make appointments with each student to discuss his or her plans and to help them with their problems where possible. During the spring of the year Mr. Hile travels throughout this section of Arkansas contacting and talking to as many high school seniors, principals, and superintendents as possible. The fruits of this public relations work was harvested this school year when our college enjoyed its largest enrollment in history. This is his second year at F.S.J.C. and we hope there will be many more!
