Guidance devices focused on future Touring colleges is a senior concern as grads Cindy Knote and Ted Burnworth (center left) show Carol Begley, Barb Cain, Barb Crankshaw, Lynn Riggs and Bill Ruble through BSU bookstore. Some htudenLs found their careers in the Guidance Department this year. A variety of new equipment helped in the process. For example, a sound film-strip projector was used frequently by stu- dents in search of a college career. Ear- phones made it possible to listen private- ly to a variety of vocational information. Other rewarding features were the Ad- missions Search Kit, which supplied one- page information on colleges throughout the 50 states, and a copying machine which enabled the student to duplicate rapidly the information for his own convenience. Another responsibility of the Guidance Department was to record each six weeks honor roll, although students themselves were responsible for turning in their cards. Headed by Mr. James Landis, four counselors provided both personal and vocational advice. Students for a day! The BHS faculty gets guidance, too, as Ray Searrum, audio-visual spedclist, dem- onstrates the use of new audio-visual equipment used by the faculty this year. 33
