Opportunity Day Yields Suggestions Galore Mr. Robert Dunn, Director of Counseling, talks to Senior Joe Tutterrow. Every Manual student is assigned a counselor. To project the thinking of Manualites to their future vocations, Opportunity Day has become an annual tradition. Set up by the counseling staff, headed by Mr. Robert Dunn, numerous visitors from colleges, businesses, and industries visit the school to brief students on their particular fields. An awareness of Opportunity Day and its goals is created for Manualites through an auditorium program early in the second semester. Dr. Wesley Haines, president of Franklin College, spoke at this year ' s session on February 20. Through Home Rooms everyone made several choices of sessions he preferred to attend. All stu- dents were then assigned one of their choices. Speakers invited are experts because of educa- tional background and experience and their con- tacts with others in their respective fields. During high school, Manualites participate in four Opportunity Days and may attend a different type session each year. This provides them with real knowledge of several vocations- Some 50 group meetings were listed on the preference sheets. Visitors attended a coffee hour in the library when they first arrived and were briefed on the day ' s activities. Many stayed on after the program and lunched with the faculty in the cafeteria. Nancy Holloway, Advanced Foods student, serves guest speakers Mrs. Molly Ward, Wm. H. Block Com- pany, and Mr. Jack Schwarzer, the U. S. Bureau of Apprentice Training at the informal coffee hour in the library before the Opportunity Day sessions with students began. 12
