... Lending a Helping Hand. The GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT serves Jefferson’s students. The mem- bers of the department are always willing to advise us in selecting a college or a career, and to furnish information re- garding scholarships and job oppor- tunities. They are available for conference to discuss the student’s schedule and plan our future work in high school. On request tests are ad- ministered to discover a student’s natural ability and the work for which he is best suited. Everything possible is done to assure that the student will be satisfied in the college or career he has chosen. Mrs. Field, Dean of girls, and Mr. Bishop, Dean of boys, are in charge of the attendance offices. They keep records of each student’s absences during the year. Another of their duties is dis- ciplining those who do not abide by the school rules. Mrs. Field has a helper in her office each period of the day. This girl is in charge of all the hall monitors that period. All in all, the Guidance Department serves a very important function at Jefferson.
