Guidance: A Major Theme MISS VIRGINIA W. REDMAN, B.A., Wilsong M.Ed., University of Pittsburgh MR. DAVID E. DOUGLAS, BS., ,Iuniatag M.Ed., University of Pittsburgh Our guidance counselors, Miss Virginia Redman and Mr. David Douglas, are two of the most important people we meet in our high school careers. Their job is to get to know as much as possible about each student, then to put that knowledge to work for us. This is accomplished through a testing program and through personal interviews. They coordinate their knowledge with that of our teach- ers, parents, and administrators to provide the best possible type of education for us. Their other duties include arranging for special classes, keeping us aware of scholarship possibilities, planning for college and career conferences, conducting follow-up surveys of graduates, and often attempting to solve the personal problems of students. Both Miss Redman and Mr. Douglas give unselfishly of their time and energies to help the students of EFHS. Guidance Activities Miss Redman congratulates Larry Dillen, al- ternate, and Elizabeth Hodgson, winner, of the Odd Fellows United Nations Contest. This resulted in a trip for Liz to the United Na- tions and other spots of historical interest in the New York area. I0 Miss Redman visits an English class to discuss the high school record and the testing program provided for all students. Dan Dansak thanks Dr. Foil Miller, one of the speakers at Career Night spon- sored by the guidance department.
