This year a group of students presented a program which made the different courses of study familiar to the parents. After the audi- torium session the guests had the opportunity of seeing a movie or taking a conducted tour of the building. Later in the evening a social period was held in the cafeteria for the purpose of enabling parents and teachers to meet in- formally. It is believed that this program helps to ce- ment the necessary link between home and school activities.

guidance clinic Lane Powell, student chairman of a busi- ness conference section, introduces Ardo Whisler, the group consultant. An effort to help the students choose their future courses of study according to their voca- tional needs was continued at F. H. S. this year in the form of the Third Annual Guidance Clinic. The Findlay Kiwanis Club sponsored this coun- seling program, which was held during the last week of March. ln preparation for the program Mr. Clyde Corle of Ansonia, Ohio, addressed the student body concerning the important process of choosing a life work. The students filled out inventory forms indi- cating the fields in which they desired addi- tional information and counsel. Discussion groups were formed in accordance with the desires they expressed. Each individual had an opportunity to attend two discussion groups and have personal conferences with experts in his preferred field. Forty-seven business and professional people of Findlay co-operated to make the clinic a successful and helpful program. 9

Claude Goldsmith served Well as the master of ceremonies who intro- duced the various acts. The program in- cluded several musical numbers, among Which were a barber shop quartet and a comic violin duo. Mary Lou Kope hilariously dramatized a popular song of several years ago, and a girls' gym class performed a series of tumbling acts with commendable agility.
