Guidance Department Expands Benefits Expanding their numerous activities this year, The Guidance Department became a vital contributor to Ludlow High School. Two senior bulletins were published, supplying scholarship information, example applications, and other useful data. The department sponsored a college orientation night for concerned parents and interested students. This year LHS was a test center for college boards in December and May. A Career Day was held again this year in conjunction with the Rotary Club to provide students not attending college with new ideas and possible future professions. Area company employers interviewed students and eighteen were hired on the spot at the Job Fair held in the spring. The Job Fair supplies practical experience for future interviews and possible job opportunities for many. PE OHINEL raieraitimmenn since. Ve Mitty Mrs. Charlotte McChesney A new program termed “job — leaver” was instituted this spring to assist non-college prep students in their quest for jobs. Seniors were allowed to leave school several weeks previous to graduation and begin full-time work at their new job. Students entering the military service were also allowed to leave early. This program was a great success and students profited by it. Another new innovation was the presentation of career movies to interested students during study periods. Information questionnaires were collected with requests for differing movies to be shown. The student body will certainly agree that the Guidance Department has greatly aided the students in their search for colleges, careers, and a better life. Mr. Frank Peraino

English Department Aids Literary Talents Enlightenment has been the key to the English curriculum. Literature, grammar, and composition broadened the horizons of LHS students. Films, projects, and oral discussions improved participation in learning adventures. Miss Florence M.
