Your future, your fortune - the Guidance Service knew all and saw all. A seance with a member of this department could reveal grades, achievement, aptitude or career interest, test scores and opinions of pre-high school teachers. Whether it was a job, col- lege, or just plain credits, the Gu i dance Department at- tempted to service ETHS students, For part time job seekers, Guidance offered a job placement service, and for future business men and wo- men as well as college en- trants, the career testing pro- gram was extremely helpful in pinpointing real interests, abilities, and aptitudes. This service was highlighted an- nually by a Career Club Conf ference in which distinguished business and professional men spoke to students about their individual fields. For college credit problems, teacher-coun- selors were ready to advise or help. All ETHS students had to do to look into the crystal ball was to utilize some of the services of the Guidance Department. Center Left: Norman Bosley speaks with his adviser, Mr. Cady.

Jfnwene 5 nealq preview Doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs. Business and profes- sional men from all over the state gathered together with students at the ETHS Career Conference in February where they answered questions about career possibilities. Opening this conference was Dr. Fred Luchs, who spoke before a general assembly on Human Relations in Our Lives. An additional effort to make ETHS students career conscious was a display in the back lobby, with the theme Your Career is Your Fortune. A practical application of career guidance, in cooperation with local business leaders, was Junior Achievement, an organ- ization in which participants had the opportunity to form their own businesses and turn out products - selling for profit not only in money but also in experience.
