t tyuidoMce The aim of our guidance program is to help our students lead, and prepare for, a useful and happy life. In short, it is based upon the idea that human beings need help. Our guidance is conducted upon an informal basis to help the individual student make wise choices of his own in connection with critical situations in his life. This is done, in general thruogh (1) information that he is helped to secure, (2) interests, habits, attitudes and ideas he is helped to acquire, and (3) counsel, by which direct assistance is given him to make adjustments, choices, and interpretations in connec- tion with school and vocations. One part of guidance is portrayed by a bulletin board at the front of the assembly. There are posters and booklets or statistics placed here that makes the front of the room very interesting, attractive and educational. We also have additional books and pamphlets which are good reference books, as well as occupational outlook hand- books, that help the students make good decisions about future careers. The entire student body enjoyed the following guidance films this year: APTI- TUDES AND OCCUPATIONS, CHOOSING YOUR OCCUPATION, FINDING THE RIGHT JOB, FINDING YOUR LIFE WORK, I WANT A JOB, MINUTES ARE PENNIES, PLACING THE RIGHT MAN ON THE JOB, PLANNING AND LAYING OUT WORK, and YOU AND YOUR WORK. Some of the films told you how to apply for a job, where to go to find help in securing a job, what to do while you are being interviewed and also the fact that each person job is an important part of the whole economics process. A job inventory test and an aptitude test were two tests given to the seniors The second semester each went into Mr. Halcom ' s room individually for a brief, but tho- rough counsel. All records of the tests and other data are confidential material which are used in helping the student to make his own decisions.
