Seniors Ruthann Bailey and Harry Ibbotson leave the guidance office after having received the helpful guidance Miss Naylor so willingly lends to all students who seek it. Miss Evelyn Naylor’s expert guidance, her pleasant manner, and her way of lending a helping hand always made us all realize that we had someone to aid and counsel us. As time passes by and our futures become realities, we shall never forget Miss Naylor’s many hours spent in our behalf. With Expert Guidance All Our Problems Seemed Small The guidance department of Slatington High School affords to its students many opportunities. Each year a Career-Day program is carefully planned to aid students in their selections of future careers. If additional guidance is needed in selecting a college, getting a position after graduation, or just talking over a problem, the guidance office is awaiting us. Opportunities in the business world are being vividly explained by Mr. George Shankey, President of the Pennsylvania Business Schools, Inc., of Pittsburgh. Miss Carol Jones, a student of the school and also a ’58 S.H.S. graduate, assists him on her stenotype machine. In the picture in the corner is Po 2c Marion Spaar of the U. S. Women’s Navy Corps, who is telling the girls to “Join the Waves.” Sociability and a cup of coffee make a pleasant break for our visitors on Career Day. Chatting with Miss Naylor are Mr. Karlton Zamost, Franklin School of Science ancL Arts; T Sgt. Francis Renn and S Sgt. Virginia Painter, U. S. Recruiting Office, Allentown; and Mr. Frank Stachow, who is on the music staff of Lebanon Valley College.
