GUIDANCE The Guidance Department offers a supportive service to all of the students at Brockton High School. Whether the problem is academic, social or family related, the Guidance Department is always ready to lend an understanding ear and offer advice. Under the leadership of Mr. Gentile, the Guid- ance Departments main objective is to offer sup- port and allow the student to utilize their poten- tial. In doing so, the department helps the stu- dent gain future success. The councilors advise the students on testing dates, schedule adjust- ments, and college decisions. Brockton High School offers a student a realistic view of life. Success is often theirs for the taking, but the ride is not always smooth. The councilors at Brockton High School try to make this ride as unobstructed as possible. Mr. Gentile offers this advice to the class of 1983: If you do anything in your life, always be will- ing to listen to the one next to you. No matter where you find yourself, just because you're there, doesn't make you an authority in the world. Mary E. Ronan Tl' AVT4-7rd-lpn? fflfigiol ' ,tariff ' P Jfafwpilmi J-+++ J' b !
