Elizabeth Burianek Washington High Student Bod George Novak Alice Anderson The primary aim of the guidance pro- gram is to utilize and develop special services designed to further the learning of the indivi- dual to the maximum degree of his interest, usefulness and ability. Counselors have a number of functions: orientationg testing programg record-keepingg job placementg information services on the student himself, on careers, on further educa- tion and trainingg evaluation and follow-upg and counseling. Most of these services are selilexplana- tory. Counseling, to which the most time is given, may be clarified in this way: counseling assists the student in becoming increasingly self-directive and self-reliant. The counselor tries to help the student take the following steps: ill to define or recognize the task, choice problem with which he is facedg 123 to study various ways of dealing with it: Q33 to plan a course of action and C41 to evaluate the results of the action. Donald Wagner Materials used in counseling interviews might include test records, personal data, and educational and occupational information.

Often in the front row a- we have an American Field Service student who speaks and writes our language beautifully and correctly. We ,Jane wang are almost embarassed by the sloppy way our own people handle their language. Good writing and speaking practices are a result of careful learning. Bad habits are hard to break,and that is the reason that we must keep pegging away at English year after year as a required subject. When pupils reach a certain level of proficiency, they are able to read and enjoy the products of English and litera- ture, and the drudgery is over. Good English is the key to the doors of learning.
