Guidance and Curriculum Departments Aid, Guide in Studies, Careers IN the guidance office, Mrs. Pavlik types out the monthly guidance bulletins. Throughout the year the Guidance Department was a center of activity, administering various tests in conjunction with local and national programs. Students with scheduling and career problems found three counselors who were always ready to listen and offer advice about applying to colleges and securing financial aid. This year’s curriculum, under the direction of Mr. Duplaga, was carefully planned to help new teachers and enable students to obtain the best education possible. As a supplement to classroom studies the Curriculum Department maintained a wide selection of audio-visual aids including tape recorders, projectors, and mimeographed materials. AFTER Mr. Mattuch deposited money in the finance office Mrs. Croner writes out the necessary receipt for him. 24
