Personally, the counselors discuss any problems confronting the student and give him individual guidance. These problems are always kept confidential by the counselor. Also, personal attention from a counselor is provided when a student desires ad- ditional information pertaining to his future. This not only applies to students, but to parents as well. The counselors want the parents to feel welcome to call upon them for advice concerning their children. The major purpose of Hales counseling program is to help the students get the maximum benefit from their three high school years and to help them to plan for their futures. ai -,,,.- ,,-v

Hale's counseling program has two general aims in counsel- ing the student: Educationally and personally. Educationzilly, the counselor presents to the students informa- tion he has gathered that will be of assistance to the student in de- termining his vocational choice. The counselor begins by going over a student's high school schedule for his sophomore, junior, and senior years. He determines from the student's testing records his capacity for learning. Then the student is called in for a conference. During this meeting between the student and his counselor, the counselor can determine whether the student has a desire to go on to college or whether he wants, upon high school graduation, to pursue a vocation. Then the counselor presents the pros and cons and other information about vocations to the stu- dent and tries to help him decide what future profession would best suit him. The choice of a college will vary according to the student's desires and the' 'intelligence and abilities of the applicant. Some colleges will accept only the top two or three per cent, while others will accept the top ten per cent, of students' scores on their entrance examinations. Some universities cater to certain types of students known as the cream of the crop,', while others aren't as strict. There are exclusive colleges for girls in the East and.one in the Northeast are for boys. There are co-ed colleges throughout the country. The counselor's duty is to point out specific information and guide the student in the right direction.

'wma The friendliness and efficiency shown by the student office assistants this year helped make a good name for Hale.

At the beginning of each class hour they report to their respective in- structors for assignments.
