Expanded guidance office administers to An important part of many senior's final year was the selection of a college or university. Harriet Ponsler dis- cussed her choice with Mr. Keith Davis, guidance director. In an effort to determine his vocational interests, Jim Campbell took one of the several tests the guidance office had for this purpose. An enlarged guidance department administered to the wants and needs of Highland's H46 students. Under the direction ot guidance director Mr. Keith Davis, counsellors met with students individually or in groups to discuss the tests and results. Their department han- dled achievement, intelligence, vocational interests, and personality tests. Besides dealing with testing, counsellors also helped with plans tor Junior Guidance Day, when nearly l,2OO Anderson youths visited local business and in- dustrial concerns. They discussed college requirements and admission procedures with college--bound seniors. They also helped others find suitable after-high school vocations. Other members ot the guidance staft included Mrs. Shirley Hasty, Mr. Roger Dickenson, and Mr, Von Kuldau. Junior Guidance Day played an important part in helping iun- iors to plan their future.
