Guidance for Growth The educational, vocational, social, and emotional growth of the individual is the goal of the Guidance De- partment. So that the student may have a better chance to approach the peak of his powers and to have a richer, fuller, more satisfying life in school and out - both now and in the future - the East Hartford High School Guid- ance Department offers the services of eight trained counselors. Through a complete testing and counseling program, the student becomes aware of his assets and liabilities. By knowing himself, the student is better able to chart a more direct route to individual success and happiness, and to be a worthwhile contribution to society. Testing and counseling are but a small part of the responsibilities of the Guidance Department. The importance of planning and adjustment is realized even before the student reaches high school. Freshman counselors visit eighth grade classes to orient future high school freshmen to high school procedure. Each year student successes and failures are noted. Finally in the senior year before leaving the shelter, stu- dents are aided in their choice of a vocation, a college, or a technical school by the senior counselors. Mrs. Gaines has helped many secure part-time and permanent employment which has been not only a financial aid, but also an aid in giving exploratory vocational experience. Mr. McCabe's psychology class probes the motives of human behavior. 'S sex s wx ,xqbx , , N Z! t UQ 55 1 SE D' O3 35' on. 'ffm N FE: l-QM 22 F52 D-vi 53 -v.-V2 '92 'E ::.
