Equally important is the background pro- vided in individual sports in which the student will most frequently participate later — such as badminton, golf, table-tennis, and swim- ming, an activity occupying nine weeks.

One of Miss Lucille Burianek’s guidance classes views a film entitled So You Want To Be a Bricklayer! Counselors Advise, Consent, and Guide Through guidance classes, as well as individual conferences, counselors strive to help each pupil build his future according to his personal needs. For the sophomore it means learning school regulations so that he can contribute a worthwhile part to the student body, studying his per- sonality, and planning his schedule for high school. To the junior it means colleges to be looked into ahead of time and various fields of occupation to be explored. Most important to the senior is finding the role he will play in his life after high school. To all, the guidance program pre- sents many opportunities for the advance- ment of individual personalities. Round-table discussions about college are visited often by seniors.
