GUIDANCE COUNSELORS Before a student has been at Classical very long, he learns that the shortest distance between a problem and its solution passes through the office of the guidance counselors. Mrs. Bemis and Mr. Finn are always ready to help any student with scholastic, social, or financial problems. They aid him in arranging program schedules suitable to his individual needs; prepare scholarship bulletins, and supply information about college requirements and Col- lege Board tests; arrange informal meetings with the representatives of various universities; and, because of their knowledge of each student’s background, interpret the results of special aptitude tests given every year to juniors. Mrs. Bemis also assists students in obtaining summer employment and part-time work. Mr. Finn advises Peter Haraty on his college choice. 13
