[.eon E. Pogue DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE U. of Missouri, M.E. 3 years Hie GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT is devoted to assisting each student with educational decisions and vocational preparation. A special program of testing, including the Iowa Tests of Educational Development given in the freshman, sophomore, and senior years and the Illinois Statewide Battery administered in the junior year, evaluate the in- terests, abilities, and achievements of each stu- dent. A guidance bulletin board located near the counseling offices helps college-bound students select schools and obtain information about scholarships and other forms of financial aid. The Guidance Department also provides an ef- fective system of counseling which gives individual attention to personal problems. Since each student is assigned to the same counselor over a four year period, there develops a close student-counselor re- lationship. Counselors Offer Guidance William E.
