The Guidance Dept. helps the student plan his future The life of a student is not an easy one. The years spent in high school are difficult years, formative years . . . years during which he matures considerably. Some of the problems he encounters he may feel he cannot handle alone and so he will seek outside aid. Freshmen are introduced to high school guidance with discussion of the four years to come. The student's plans for the future are heard and commented upon. The student is then set upon a more serious course concerning his next years at Gordon. By the end of the sophomore year, the student will have taken various aptitude and achievement tests. These, with the grades achieved by the students until that time, give the sophomore guidance counselor an indication of the student's weaknesses and strong points. The choice of a career is then discussed and the student's apparent limitations are applied to the choice to determine whether it is a feasible one. , ' .-ff.-'LQ ., I . ,Tu V 1' . - ,vgt 1. -.

During the junior year definite decisions concerning careers should be made by the student. These decisions are examined and discussed with the junior guidance counselors. Aid is given the student in obtaining information about the field he wishes to enter. Much information is readily available from the school itself, in the library's careers files. The student is then aided in analyzing the means of readying himself for his chosen field. If college is necessary, the student, is assist- ed in the investigation of colleges. By senior year the student has usually made some choice concerning his career and needs assistance in preparing for it. If the student does not plan to attend college, he will need to know how to get started in his field. To the college-bound student, the choice of a college presents a large problem. At this time, the senior guidance counselor, is in great demand. He gives the students instructions in determining the relative merits of various colleges. He aids them in composing letters of application. The final decisions, however, are left to the student. Assistance is also given to those seeking scholarships. They are told which scholarships would be best to apply for, and which are most valuable. During the previous year, a total of twenty-two scholarships were obtained by Gordon Tech students. To those not entering college, the counselor provides dir- ection in obtaining necessary information for job applications and instruction in getting the wanted job. When a student leaves Gordon, he finds that he has re- ceived not only an education, but also inestimable assistance in his planning for the future.
