COUNSELORS Guide Students' Personal Development, MR. DONDLINGER, Vice-Principal John Jones to see his counselor, please. That call, this year, proved more exciting than usual, for most often it meant a trip to one of the new counselors' offices on Floor 2, in space released for additional rooms when West Study Hall was moved to the third floor. There, in Room B, C, D, or E, in friendly conference, a student at times resolved a program conflict, planned for college or a seemingly remote career, or iust received advice from his class counselor. Such opportunities for help and counseling are features among the many benefits available to students from the guidance staFf at Bay View. That staff, including counselors for grade groups, a dean of girls, a vocational counselor, and the counselor chairman, provides for careful and continuous guidance at all levels. Even before a student leaves the elementary school, he has help in preparation for the eventful years of high school. His counselor visits the grade school and, in consultation with the student, parents, and the eighth grade teacher, plans the course of study the student will follow. When he reaches high school, the new freshman is received by his counselor and entrusted to a homeroom teacher who, too, will watch his progress and assist him with his problems. MR.

Scholastic Achievement, Preparation for the Future. The first year of high school guidance includes a number of tests - reading tests, aptitude tests, IQ tests, and others - the results of which enable the counselors to plan a student's future scholastic program and prepare the foundation for his later occupation or career. For the junior and senior, special emphasis is placed on future employment and voca- tions, on preparation for college, and, when a student qualifies, on applications for scholarships. This year the preparation for college became of greater concern in guidance for seniors, as larger numbers of students prepared to take the Merit Scholarship Examination and the College Entrance Board Examina- tions, to determine their fitness for college. There is now almost no school in the areas near Milwaukee, except the University of Wisconsin, that does not require all applicants to take the College Board Examination. In vocational guidance various films appropriate for grade groups at different levels were shown in auditorium guidance programs and became the topic for discussion at Wednesday Life Advisement meetings in the homerooms. Among the films were Finding Your Life Work, Benefits of Looking Ahead, Aptitudes and Occupations, How to Keep a Job, and Teacher of Tomorrow. In a special group meeting, a physician from the Bay View community spoke to students interested in medicine, nursing, X-ray and health specialties, and physical therapy. MR.
