Freshmen are introduced to the senior high programg sophomores are told of the standards necessary to meet their tentative goalsg juniors are helped to visualize their places in society and to prepare for that place. Finally, seniors are given help in planning for college or for careers. The work of the Guidance Department does not end with the senior's graduation. Graduates and drop-outs are studied in a follow-up program which enables the department to measure the effectiveness of Franklin's total educational program.
