Counselors Copying Machine Makes Information About Post-High School Planning More Easily Accessible to Students A new thcrmofax copying machine, called The Secretary , was installed in the second floor counseling office. By inserting a sheet that summarized the catalogue of a particular college, students could obtain a copy of it almost immediately. Another machine which helped seniors in their college decisions was the college entrance viewdeck. B adding coded cards, such as engineering program or western United States. students could see which lights remained on the viewdeck and have those numbers decor led to give the names of various suitable colleges. Three major trends in educational planning were evident to counselors at Kdina High. First of all. there seemed to l e an intense and serious interest by juniors in post-high school planning. Secondly. more interest in public junior and four-year colleges was shown by our students. Finally, more parents and students recognized the many opportunities for post-high school training in vocational, technical. trade, business, and secretarial schools, rather than in more traditional formal academic training. 26 I ooking ahead In college plain.
