Hello.... MARTIN A. HELFER 1953 GRADUATES The future holds something for the man who keeps faith in it. Look forward with anticipation to tasks ahead of you. Keep faith with yourself, your fellow man, and with your God. It is the hope of everyone, particularly your teach¬ ers, that you do your job well and that in the years ahead the education you have received and the spirit of your school may cause you to think back and appreciate what is yours with real understand- ZjU, a SELECTION FOR JOBS Selection of the right people for the right jobs has always been important. During World War II the word selection had taken on added meaning. In the Army Air Forces, for instance, it was extremely vital to pick the right men for training as pilots, navigators, or bombardiers. What was the skill pattern needed for success in flying? How could these potential skills be measured before a man had ever ridden in, much less piloted a plane? These gualifications were found necessary for the job. The pilot who was successful was good EDWARD T. SPRINGMANN in problems involving mechanics, spatial relations, perception, and co-ordination. Such skills could be measured in the potential state by a battery of tests which indicated a man ' s aptitude for solving these problems. Such a battery of tests were developed, crew men receiving scores ranging from 1 (low) to 9 (high). If a candidate had a pilot score of 9 he was a good investment and chances were that only five in one hundred would fail in training. The application of this intensive research is ob¬ vious. Whether in industry, where selection involves hiring the three applicants out of ten who would be efficient and satisfied in a particular job, or in schools, where it means guiding the student into courses and occupational choices in which he will be successful, selection implies a dual knowledge. What skills are needed to carry out a task and what abilities does the individual possess who is to carry out the task? A certain pattern of intellectual, inter¬ est, and emotional aptitudes is demanded for any type of successful performance. The nearer the apti¬ tude pattern of the individual to the skill pattern re¬ quired on the job, the greater are his chances for efficient performing of the task. Page Six

Her ques¬ tion is soon answered when she enters the offices of Miss Marion C. Taylor, sophomore and junior girls ' counselor.

Miss Taylor feels that as a coun¬ selor she has met many pupils and that among these her girls at Central have charm and are a challenge to any person. In room 214 is situated the office of Mr. Schuster, the guidance counselor of the tenth and eleventh grade boys. During a period of twenty-seven years, Mr. Schuster has actively participated in activities at Central High. For nine years he was an athletic coach, and the remaining eighteen years he has been the edu¬ cational adviser. Mr. Schuster helps boys to plan their schedules, giving advice and infor¬ mation concerning educational and vocational programs. Besides helping boys with their so¬ cial and personal problems, he tries to find the field most suitable for each. Encouraging boys to do better work and to be more ambitious is another task of our efficient adviser.
