Student Council Typing cmd Testing The Guidance Department at Central served many useful purposes this year. Help and advice were given to sophomores, iuniors, and seniors on what courses to take not only in Central, but in college. In addition to aiding students in choosing the correct college, infor- mation on scholarships was made available and tests were administered. In cooperation with the State Employ- ment Service, assistance was given in part-time iolo placement. College and occupational counseling was also provided. The counselors also helped students cope with personal and social problems. The secretaries handled the mechanics of the school. They enrolled new students and took care of the students who withdrew. Failure slips, report cards, and office correspondence were typed up and mailed. Transcripts of students' grades were also sent to colleges. As the contact between the teachers and students, the secre- taries typed announcements, athletic department reports, and the schedules and dates for sporting events. Guidance counselor Mr. Bell explains entrance requirements for Carle- ton College to senior Bill Melby, as Bill is considering entering Carleton.
