MADALYN W, HOLT Guidance Counselor, Penn- sylvania State University, B.S.g Columbia University, M.A.g Science Fair Committee Mem- er. The multi-phase guidance program in the Central Dauphin joint School System is handled by four specially trained guidance counselors. They are responsible in a large part, for the successful education of each student. They must see that every student is placed in a course which will best benefit him in later life, they must provide special testing to dis- cover the different talents of each individual, and they must offer advice concerning employment after graduation and advanced education. To accomplish these many tasks, each counselor is assigned approximately three hundred students in the senior high school. They have a record of the grades, activities, and accomplishments of every student. In addition to the senior high, each counselor spends two or three days a week at one of the two junior high schools helping each student de- cide which course of study to pursue. The counselors' contact with the student varies from the personal conference in their office to the guidance assemblies held every other week. In addition, the counselors offer special programs such as Career Night, College Night, and Armed Forces Night where the student has a chance to meet people specially trained in every phase of post-high school experience. Miss Gundel administers a special test to a group of senior girls.
