With an ultimate goal of student self-evaluation toward planning for the future, the guidance program at Fair Park is a valuable student service. Individual inventories are obtained through inter- views, testing measures, psychological evaluations, observations, information from the classroom, mem- bers of family, and neighborhoods. In combination, this furnishes the student with the necessary material for a self-evaluation—a look at himself and his potential—necessary in planning a future. Extensive vocational files . and college informa- tion are available to the student to aid him in choos- ing a career and making his plans for that career. 17

Whether preparing for .college or a job after graduation, funda- mentals of English usage, gram- mar, spelling, writing, and vocabu- lary are important to students. Stu- dents receive individual help from Mrs. Jones in this senior English class. The most fascinating part of any subject is the use and practice of what is being learned. Fair Park's three speech courses give training in the use of body and voice, public speaking, debate, and dramatics. Practical lessons in job ap- plication and salesmanship are offered. The third year includes training in voice and diction for platform, radio and television. Book reports are one of the most pleasant assignments. Sue Doiron discovers.
