The Guidance Department The more permanent phase of the school guidance program is centered in the high school and emphasizes individ- ual rather than group guidance. To start with, special attention is given the sen- iors because they will not be a part of the school the following year. Each twelfth-grade pupil takes interest and mental tests followed by a senior inventory sheet. These three items are used to determine the type of aptitude test to be administered. After these objective results are known and general high school grades, attend- ance and material considered, each sen- ior is given an individual interview. These facts help in the wise choice of occupation, college, business or trade school, and employment opportunities. In the elementary grades, achievement tests are used in all grades and mental tests are administered in grades one, three, and six. The data gathered from the achievement tests helps the teacher to determine individual pupil weakness and achievements. Irregular cases in the elementary schools are tested with a Revised-Stanford-Binet test. Along with the regulated program, the counselor maintains an Hopen door policy, encouraging and welcoming stu- dents to seek educational, vocational, or personal counsel voluntarily. Parents desiring to discuss their child's problems, whether they be personal, social, edu- cational or vocational are also welcomed in the counselor's office. Throughout the high school, irregular cases are tested with a Wechsler-Bellevue test.
