ROBERT HARVEY, B. S. Vocational Guidance, Driving I I The purpose of a counseling program is to as- sist the individual student to make adjustments, to help in choosing an occupation, to prepare for it, to enter upon it, and to progress in the chosen field. It is concerned primarily with helping the individual make decisions and choices involved in planning a future and building a career, in making decisions and choices necessary for effect- ing satisfactory adjustment, and in assisting him with occupational guidance by securing informa- tion relative to his interests. Students of the senior high are requested to take tests to show them which field of work they are best fitted for. During the second semester, Mr. Harvey taught three sections of Driving to students who wish to improve their skill in handling a car or are eligible for drivers' licenses. The dual-control car given the school by the Yerkey Chevrolet Co. had some fine work-outs at the hands of these students. Mr. Harvey gives instructions for the Kuder Test. 26

The Commercial Department, under the di- rection of Mrs. Irene Schreiber and Mr. John Carey, offers many opportunities to students aim- ing toward careers in the business world. Typing and Junior Business are offered to the Freshmen to acquaint them with these phases of business life. Students receive further knowledge of busi- ness from the work they do in Bookkeeping and Business Law. The most advanced business course looks like 277 rjf' K2 1. No, it's not hiero- glyphic writing, it's shorthand. This year's short- hand class reached their first goal-a speed of ninety words a minute--early in the second se- mester. The business courses offered to students make it possible for them to make more rapid advancement in their Business College courses and to receive promotion quickly. Now class, this is a very hard test. Keep your fingers crossed, says Mrs. Schreiber. Mrs Schreiber's shorthand class strives for the H90 words a minute standard. Q-: JOHN CAREY, B.S.
