MR. ROHDE STUDENTS CONSULT THE COUNSELORS MISS BELL The counseling office at Central is a coordinating center for all those activities which have to do with the | crsonal and individual development of students. It is a service station to assist, either directly or indi rcctly, every student, to guide himself in the best jx s-sihlc way and to make the best possible use of his abilities. The services carried on arc varied—including everything from helping new students to find their way around the building, to working on a plan for changing the curriculum of the school. Within Central, the counselors work with the entire school personnel— students, advisers, teachers, office force, ami the administrative officers. The counselors help to plan courses of study by furnishing information about the work offered at Central, college entrance requirements, choice of colleges, special schools for special training, vocational training, and work opportunities. This may include careful interpretation of a student’s record, his abilities, his ambitions, and the parents' attitude and desires. ’Hiis often involves personal interviews with students, teachers, and parents. The counselors’ office coojierates with the visiting teacher in assigning, su-jxrrvising, and keeping time for the jobs under N. V. A. and State Aid. by means of which pupils earn part of their expenses in school and get work experience. This service took care of over two hundred pupils this year, with a monthly payroll of $600. Scholarships for certain pupils of ability arc also cared for through this office. Miss Hell and Mr. Rohde arrange occupational conferences addressed by speakers in the more common lines of work. Some of these occupations arc medicine, law, nursing, aviation, commercial art, the domestic sciences, engineering, and the trades. A cordial relationship is maintained by Central's “202 with the junior high schools and other senior high schools, the Minnesota Kmployment Service, graduates, and pupils who have dropped out of school. It is also the job of the counseling office to prepare a school report for the employment service files, furnish recommendations and references for applicants, supply information about follow-up studies, and interview individuals. Whenever there is some question as to the correct credits for graduation, the matter is often referred to the counseling office. Assistance in solving the personal problems of students is a well-known part of the counselor’s work. This service may result in conferring with advisers, parents, teachers, and pupils regarding their failures, attendance, and relationships with other people. Program adjustments, work excuses, placement on jobs, and recommendations for jobs arc also taken care of by the counseling office. In general, the purpose of this important body is to achieve a constantly better school for Central students. 13
