      ab: The article focuses on the counseling of problem students. Despite the degree of sophistication and thoroughness that may be present in an articulation program between junior high and senior high, one of the largest problems facing any high school pupil personnel staff is the inability of many freshmen to do well in the high school setting once they get there. As a result, counselors, social workers, deans, and other pupil services people spend a disproportionately large amount of their time working with a small but significantly demanding group of freshmen who soon begin establishing patterns of misbehavior, truancy, failure and accompanying symptoms harmful to themselves and to the rest of the school. At Niles North High School in Skokie, Illinois, the pupil services department is confronting this problem head on in the form of a Freshman Developmental Seminar Program, which, besides combating the "problem freshman problem," has drawn members of the teaching, pupil personnel and administrative staffs into a venture of cooperation that some observers of the large school scene might consider not too common.
