Guidance gives direction When we were freshmen it seemed like we would be in high school for the next 100 years. But, we aren ' t. It is only four short years. Our lives after high school . . . well, that seems too far away to begin thinking about. And if it wasn ' t for our guidance counselors we might never think about it. They help us plan our class sched- ule to match our interests. Some stu- dents want to be mechanics, electri- cians, or printers. They go to the Muncie Area Career Center. Others want to he doctors, teachers, or law- yers. They take college prep, classes. The counselors schedule college speakers from all over Indiana. They encourage us to take the PSAT and SAT tests. When we ap- ply to the college of our choice, they are on hand to answer our questions. Our counselors treat us as indivi- duals and help us realize our goals. Our counselors attempt to keep track of our careers, trying to help us succeed. Using a hydraulic jack is one of the many skills learned by senior Brian Smith in me- chanics class at the Muncie Area Career Cen- ter. 108 Guidance
