guidance department is ;tudent’s source of nformation and idvisor on educational ind personal iroblems W 1 ' d iiA h Mr. Erasmi shows Bill Casterline one of the rules for taking College Boards. York ' s Guidance Department had a full time Director and a counselor for each grade level. Primarily the counselor was the students ' sounding board, source of information, and advisor when decisions must be made about the next educational step, about pre- paring for his vocation, and about personal or social problems he faced growing from a dependent young adult to an independent young adult. Most of the coun- selors ' time was spent with indivi- dual students. The rest of their time was spent in the organiza- tional and administrative details involved in setting up activities that helped the student make wiser decisions for himself.
