counselors, secretaries To make students better persons was the ultimate goal of the guidance department. Under the direction of Mrs. Rebecca Hall and Mr. Gary Weidner, the guidance depart- ment of Centerville High School served the student body as guides to jobs and careers and counselors to problems. One of the first duties of the guidance counselors was to interview all new students about their course of study and about their first impression of Centerville. Later on they made a telephone survey of the Class of 1965 to get the percentage of those going to college and those working. Through the year they were in charge of administer- ing aptitude and achievement tests. Those included were the Ohio Survey Test to sophomores, the PSAT to jun- iors, and the SAT to seniors interested in going to col- lege. While all of these things were important, the pri- mary objective of the guidance department was to lis- ten to those students Wishing to discuss their personal problems and to try to help them solve their problems whenever they could. Any student wishing to consult with the counselors about personal problems, career choices, and college preferences were encouraged to make an appointment' for a conference any time that help was needed.
