Guidance Sponsors Career Night POND€RING ... Ed Yancey and Libby Donnally think about post- high school plans in the browsing room. hello? . . . Mr. Fuhrman finds that much of his conferring as a guidance counselor goes on over the phone. The Guidance Department helps to meet the ed- cational needs of each student for the present and also for the future. Mr. Hill, head of guidance, Mrs. Cvizic, and Mr. Fuhrman are busy throughout the year with college aptitude testing, conferences with students and parents, and schedule adjustments. Guidance also maintains a browsing room contain- ing information from colleges and trade schools where students can drop in anytime and publishes a newsletter which informs the student body of its activities. In the fall, in co-operation with the Covington Ro- tary Club, guidance sponsored Occupational Career Night. At tables set up in the cafeteria, students could move about and learn about opportunities in a wide range of careers and occupations from people involved in them. The job of counseling the students at CHS may seem overwhelming at times, but with patience and dedication, the counselors strive to adjust each in- dividual student to his or her interests. WELL, I WANT TO . . . Steve Myers discusses his future plans with Mike Collins at the Occupational Career Night, as Mr. Hill looks on. 17

True Government of the Students SCA OFFICERS . . . Seated: Mona Carter, President; Standing: Brad Fitzgerald, Treasurer; Karen Jamison, Secretary; Paula Stull, Vice- president. The Student Council is the nucleus of many stu- dent activities at CHS. Through their elected rep- resentatives, the students are able to run an effective organization for the mutual benefit of both the fac- ulty and the student body. With the active partici- pation and interest of the students, the Student Council creates the spirit of co-operation within the school. The SCA sponsored several interesting activities this year. Along with the usual projects such as the Thanksgiving and Easter assemblies and the Christ- mas Formal, an additional feature was Student Gov- ernment Day. For one day, various administrative offices were taken over by the SCA officers, and classes were taught by students designated by their teachers. Another important activity was the observance of Afro-American History Week. The week was climax- ed with an assembly which included the realization of a goal, the dedication of a trophy case containing trophies and mementoes from Watson High School. Later in t he year, the SCA members undertook a school clean-up day which enlisted the services of ail students. They also sponsored the Muscular Dys- trophy drive. A busy and constructive term came to an end with the election and installation of officers for next year. JOHN HENRY . . . Mr. Hill sings the Negro folk song at the Afro- American assembly.
