 You’d better get your application in before it’s too late! warns Mr. Roy Stoller as he and Merrilee Anderson discuss college plans in the Counseling Office. Guidance Correlates Academic Life MISS LUCILLE BURIANEK Counseling Guidance MISS PAULINE COTTER Counseling Guidance Placement Office The guidance courses held once a week in all three high school years strive for the betterment of the school, of society in general, but particularly of the individual. As each pupil learns the rules and regulations of the school, he is profiting the school and himself at the same time. Counselors assist each boy and girl in developing his own standards of values and a growing philosophy of life. At the same time a study of personality and leadership qualities enable each to contribute to the success of the school and himself. By understanding his own abilities, in- terests, and personal traits, the student prepares himself better for the future. Besides learning about the individual student, all study their relationship to CHS through such topics as what extra-curricular activities each should indulge in. Courses stress the correct way of studying and introduce the many guidance services available. Much class time centers around plans for the immediate and long-range future —vocational and higher educational choices. Beyond this, guidance acquaints all with the best program of studies in preparation for future education or occupations and ultimately for useful citizenship. Although only 43 minutes a week are devoted to guidance, the prin- ciples taught and problems solved through it branch out into every class and aid in forming better equipped leaders of to- morrow. 14
