,., Q r was is xxx Guidance Department The tasks of our Guidance Depart- ment are innumerable. The work of this department consists in giving students help in their educational and vocational choices, in their social and moral respons- ibilities and in their avocational inter- ests. Our counselor, Miss BE'r'rY Lou .ART- MAN, contacts and administers a psycho- logical examination to each first grade pupil in a pre-school clinic before he en- ters school. Through an elementary in- telligence testing program in grades I, 4, and 6 and a comprehensive achieve- ment testing program in grades 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, she becomes acquainted with all available information on the pupil and helps in selecting his curriculum in grades 9, IO, l l, and 12. The final selec- tion is handled through curriculum plan- ning forms signed by the pupil. Throughout the student's stay in school, Miss Artman follows his educa- tional progress, has conferences with him when he is having difficulty or failing a subject, helps him to adjust to his present 16 curriculum or select another, is available for help when the student begins to look forward to his entrance into an institu- tion of higher learning, and serves as a source of information on occupational trends. As a result of the guidance service, members of the senior class through in- dividual interviews are able to secure in- formation about themselves after they have taken a battery of tests, including mental ability, vocational interest, and specific aptitude tests. Acting in co-operation with the ad- ministration and Miss Artman, Mrs. Sara Tarr, Dean of girls and Mr. Dick Stew- art, Dean of boys, work closely together in an attempt to solve boy and girl prob- lems. They are chiefly concerned with the student's personal problems, social irregularities, human relations, health and personal hygiene. All students in the junior-senior high school have benefited from their regularly scheduled lecture and movies on sex education, emotional health, and human reproduction.
