Rooms, Clubs, and Guidance. Jobs For Seniors Guidance A successful transition from the elementary school to the high school is difficult to achieve. The guidance counselors of Franklin, Miss Frances Stewart and Mr. Arthur Bates, assist new students in choosing courses suited to their indi- vidual capacities and interests They also attempt to orientate incoming pupils to the school routine. Individual educational adjustments which need to be made later on through the high school course are also studied by the counselors. Seniors interested in college or training school work or in search of information about available jobs, may find printed material, catalogues, and files in the guidance offices. It is the custom in Franklin for each class to work under one guidance counselor throughout its course. Mr. Bates has performed this service for us. For his wise counsel and his untiring efforts in our behalf we are sincerely grateful. 11 has been a privilege to know him. One of the means used to aid in “job getting” this year has been the program of forums that bring together seniors and their parents to discuss occupational placements and plans for further training. Industrial and educational leaders are invited to speak on these subjects and to lead in dis- cussion following. The picture show n above was taken at one of the meetings which was well attended by seniors and their parents. These forums have been of great value not only to our prospective graduates, but also to the community in general. Mr. Arthur Hates Miss Frances Stewart 17
