ADMINISTRATION AND GDIDANCE DNE of the most outstanding women in the Freeport educational system is Miss Ruth Cochran. To know Miss Cochran is to know her as an embodiment of her favorite poem, I Would Be True,” by Harold Arnold Walters. She truly is an inspiration to all who meet her. Her beautiful and sincere spirit is strongly felt wherever she goes. Among her various duties in the school, Freeport's First Lady is Vice-Principal and Dean of Girls. She finds time also to teach a trigonometry class and to have charge of the Junior Honor Society. Freeport is indeed fortunate to number among its educators Miss Ruth Cochran. The primary purpose of the Senior High Guidance Department, directed by Mr. C. Over-ton Tremper, is to prepare the Juniors and Seniors for entrance to college or vocations. This is accomplished by giving information on applications, writing letters of recommendation, bringing Mr. C. Overton Tremper Miss Ruth Cochran attention to all scholarships, and advising on courses to be taken. In certain cases which require adjustments to the school curriculum, Mr. Tremper arranges conferences with parents, teachers, and students. From the standpoint of the Junior High, the guidance department has a dual purpose: to Mr. W. Southard acquaint the young, inexperienced student with the divers subjects in the high school and to aid him in choosing the proper course of study conducive to his specific requirements. This is accomplished by giving assemblies in which various occupations are discussed, sometimes with the use of slides. At these assemblies the student is free to ask any pertinent questions. The student will also be interviewed by the Director of this Junior High Guidance, Mr. Randolph. Preceding this, however, a letter is sent to the parent giving lucid information about the course-offered. Recently a much needed position was created—that of coordinating and adjusting the sixth grade pupils to the seventh grade curriculum. The operation of this post is in the capable hands of genial Mr. W. Southard, whose official title is Vice Principal of the Freeport Junior-Senior High School. Mr. John Randolph 11
