Guidance Program Molds Future Careers ln an effort to provide more effective career and personal counseling, the guidance department has added to its regular roster of tests the Flanagan Aptitude Classification Tests for juniors and the Iowa Tests of Educa- tional Development for seniors. The number of career speakers has been increased in order to give a wider scope to the student's choice of college or career. The guid- ance library, open throughout the day, abounds with pamphlets, catalogues, and bul- letins gathered to present a picture of each state of life and every type of educational in- stitution for the student's benefit. Besides the guidance library, a special bulletin board has been designated on which is posted informa- tion pertinent to scholarships, careers, and service opportunities. Also, the guidance of- fice is always open to those with special prob- lems. Since association with others demands cour- tesy, Holy Cross students also take a course in manners, which ties in with guidance. ln these courtesy classes, everything from good study habits to dating data is discussed. Fresh- men and sophomore homerooms also conduct group guidance while juniors and seniors dis- cuss careers.

Develop Appreciation lent elementary education in the underlying doctrines of good music. The rudiments of composition and arrangement theory are off- ered on an informative and interesting level. Music appreciation is also an essential com- ponent in the course coverage. Students re- view the lives and influence of various, prom- inent composers as well as the history and mechanics of certain instruments. Basic music instruction is required of all students, and advanced work in the vocal and practice fields is offered for those wish- ing to further their musical education.
