Vocational Gaiciance to H igb School Szfacionts CONSULTING with students on future vocations, professional careers, and directing the choice of courses to meet high school graduation and college entrance requirements are the primary responsibil- ities of members of the counseling staff. Many personal problems of students are also considered during the year. Students wishing to apply for iobs may be assisted in finding positions. Interpretation of test scores of both local and national testing programs and the placement of students in the proper class groupings for various subiects according to demonstrated abilities also requires their attention. Assignment of counselors is done by alphabet- ical order. Thus, a student is assigned to the same counselor during his high school years, a proce- dure which has been beneficial to local students. Miss Marietta Viola is the efficient secretary of the counselors. Referring to one of the many college catalogues is Max Cramer.
