Page 34 With its many modern facilities, our Guid- ance Department provides encouragement to the student whether it be through personal counsel- ing or through advice concerning career oppor- tunities. During the freshman and sophomore years, students become acquainted with the opportuni- ties made available to them by this department. As part of the program, students attend weekly guidance and courtesy classes and participate in both the Mooney and Kuder-Preference tests. The national publication, Your Future Occu- pation, made available to juniors and seniors this year for the first time, has much to offer in the way of helpful career guidance. In addition to having personal interviews which are given to all students, juniors participate in the Flanagan Aptitude .Classification Tests. They are also ad- ministered many optional tests, such as the P.S.A.T. and the National Merit Scholarship Exam. The senior student, realizing the importance of his previous years under the direction of the Guidance Department, completes the program with his participation in the Iowa Test of Edu- cational Development and the optional New jer- sey State Employment Test. b Because students are always interested in seeking information concerning prospective studies or future occupations, the guidance office remains continually active and is always open to the individual with a personal problem.

Cy fo jeadufe of Courses at Holy Cross are directed toward the development of individuals well-prepared for future positions of leadershipg its music course is in keeping with that idea. With guidance, the student explores the wide range of the musical world. Reviewing the lives and masterpieces of musicians, the freshman re- ceives much background and insight, invaluable to his cultural future. The study of American folk songs, for instance, gives him a realization of the richness of his own cultural heritage. Through the study of theory and orchestral make-up, the student acquires the knowledge sufficient both to appreciate the music of every- day living, and to encourage further develop- ment which he may find in one of the several extracurricular activities. The department, by creating a suitable atmosphere, opens to its pupils a new field of interest, conferring at least a greater appreciation of music.
