At the same time it is the aim of the department to train all of its members, by means of a well rounded curriculum, to be well adjusted and use- ful citizens. All of the participants in the commercial course receive practical experience both by serving as an official secretary to one or more of the teachers and by working under actual business conditions for nearly six weeks at any one of several businesses in the New Brunswick area. It is the hope of the department that, with the completion of the new addition, advanced cour- ses in bookkeeping and junior business training can be offered.

E. THEODORE STIER, Chairman Guidance Coordinator Shucks. KX- G IDA CE The Guidance Department provides for stu- dents, parents and the borough. These services are of a vocational, educational, emotional and spiritual nature. Students are helped in adjust- ing to the school and utilizing their abilities in the best possible manner. Attempts are made to locate those with particular abilities so that they can be encouraged to pursue their particular strengths. One of the department's primary jobs is to assist in college and vocational place- ment. In the past year the Board of Education has reorganized the department so that further ser- vices can be provided in the future. This ex- pansion will allow more students to discuss their problems without interruption as they arise. Needed physical space will be provided by the new addition. This will insure privacy and efficiency. CECIL B. ENGLEHAR DT Guidance D' you see? Y RICHARD EVANS Guidance, Driver Education Whois step number one?
