The counseling oH5ices also assist in linding part-time jobs and permanent positions for business- minded seniors. To assist in making accurate choices of pro- fessions. the counselors conduct scholastic and vocational apti- tude tests. The sincere wish of both counselors, Miss Boyer and Mr. Miller, is that every grad- uate be prepared to eventually attain his personal goal. Through similar counseling facilities, many students over the past lOO years have found themselves in re- warding walks of lifeg each of us. too, should say thanks to Miss Boyer and Mr. Miller for having started us in step with the ultra- fast present. Miss Lucy Bittner and Mr. Russell Knauss. together. have given the much needed en- couragement to all the members of the Senior Class. Because of their counseling, a majority of those who entered A.l'l.S. in the fall of l9S5 will leave in the spring of 1958 with high school diplomas. All of us will make our Hrst journey on lifels crowded highway with more surety be- cause they have provided the map for us to follow. wwwwm MIRIAM BOYER G1'rI.t ' C0 LI mflor LQRUY Nl ll.LER Blflyil C011 iufloi'
