Mr. Wood Miss Alenius l Mr. Grigs Miss Webber Counselors Have you ever wondered just how you happened to get the class schedule you have, and who did all the work? Well, our counselors in lO3 are the ones who face the task of planning twenty-five hundred programs twice a year. They give the students help- ful advice in the choice of subjects as well as infor- mation concerning credits for graduation and college entrance. lt isn't an easy job to please every stu- dent and still keep the classes in proportion. The counselors also guide those students who are planning to go to college in the choice of college, taking into consideration the needs of the student, finances, and many other problems. The students who are not going to college receive advice concern- ing vocational training. Miss Alenius and Miss Webber are always ready to lend a helping hand to the girls, while Mr. Crigs and Mr. Wood help the boys solve their difficulties. They never turn a single student away without at least trying to solve the problem. Our counselors should be given a great deal of credit for making the years at South as pleasant as they are. Occupational Adjustment Service The Occupational Adjustment Service was organ- ized to aid pupils of South High School in making a choice of an occupation, in developing a vocational plan, and in finding part-time work. This is accom- plished by working as an aid to the General Educa- tion classes. The Occupational Adjustment Service gathers oc- cupational information which is used in the Ceneral Education classes, helps pupils who have special Counselors vocational problems, and helps in the organization of activities related to the study of occupations. Throughout the year many worthwhile activities were carried on in connection with the Occupational Adjustment Service. Some of these activities in- cluded a survey of this community to interest the community in using student labor, and an effort to find part-time jobs that existed at the time of the survey. A training class for retail store workers was held before Christmas which trained students so that they were able to find jobs during Christmas vacation. This class was instrumental in helping fifty pupils find jobs. These are but a few of the activities of the year. During the school year many South pupils were placed in part-time jobs that helped them receive the working experience they need when they look for work. Upon being graduated from South, pupils may be assisted in their first step toward success in an occupation by registering with the Occupational Adjustment Service which is located at Opportunity School. After registering at the O. A. S., a gradu- ate may be placed in a job or enter a vocational training class in the school. These training classes are held for the majority of the vocational fields. Such classes are instructed by trained teachers. Page Nineteen
