Students About Their Future Vocations co a aaa a Miss Patsy Jefferson B.S.; M.Ed.; Radford College; V.P.I.; Guidance; SCA Sponsor William C. Walker B.S.; M.Ed.; Culver-Stockton College; University of Virginia; Guidance Three dedicated counselors composed the guidance depart- ment at FCHS this year. This enlarged department provided an oasis amid the busy schedule where troubled students searched for reassurance and advice. In turn, counselors encouraged students to set high goals and to strive to attain them. Administering the year’s various achievement tests, in addition to their duties of counseling, the guidance department’s tasks included recommendations for jobs and character references for students. Through the department flowed stacks of records a nd transcripts for colleges. Mrs. Naomi Berger, newest member of the department, helped bewildered sophomores cope with their new, exciting, and often confusing environment. In charge of junior counseling was Miss Patsy Jefferson. She found her job to be no easy task as she also served as sponsor of the Student Cooperative Association. Having to contact each junior, Miss Jefferson discussed with them suggested courses for their senior year and their post-graduate plans. Mr. William C. Walker, Director of Counselors, helped many seniors, anticipating graduation, to choose colleges and careers in which their full potential would be best developed. Aptly handling any problem that came up, the guidance department worked as one unit, helping baffled students help themsleves. Mrs. Berger, sophomore counselor, talks with Carolyn Bernard about her future college and career plans.
