Headed by Mr. Leon Pogue, who also assists in the guidance department at Downers South, the counselors aid stu- dents with academic and personal problems. Each entering student is assigned to a par- ticular counselor who assists and advises him during his entire high school life; and each student is given the benefit of group counseling, as well as individual counsel- ing. Cumulative student folders kept by the counselors record the results of Illinois State Employment vocational aptitude tests ad- ministered and interpreted by the state of- fice for interested students who volunteer to take the tests. Counselors supply students with occupational literature and information and also make available college catalogues and other data concerning college require- ments and scholarships. Members of the guidance staff furnish facts and recommenda- tions to employing firms and to college admission offices, and help students to com- plete job and college application forms.
