Information on vocations, on courses, on colleges, scholar- ships, career day, assemblies and school regulations . . . all the things the administration thinks we need to know are given in our homerooms. Programs are planned by Miss Dorsett, chairman of the Guidance Council, Miss Kelly, chairman, and the Homeroom Committee: Miss Amsbaugh, Miss Deal, Miss Sawyer, Mr. Mater, Mr. Hart and Mrs. Hines. Homeroom presidents meet regularly for briefing and discussions of the planned procedure. The guidance program is partly carried out in the home- room, too, through counsellors, homeroom teachers, staff members, and people from the community. The sophomores have talks on courses and school orientation; the juniors learn about vocations, and the seniors look ahead to college or a job, and to making a success of their adult life. In addition, many homerooms plan many other programs of their own, and have enjoyable and informal sessions. Home- rooms are the channels through which our tides of school life flow.
