PU PIL PERSCNNEL SERVICES William Sawin Jr Attendance Phyllis Roop, Nurse Edward J. Firestone Guidance The modern school has recognized the fact that pupils have a need for some special helps in order to supplement the services that classroom teachers render in their own rooms. These special services which are to be found at Lake Shore Central are attendance, health and guidance. Pupil attendance is supervised by Mr. Sawin who also serves as the person in charge of pupil transportation. He is responsible for maintaining all of the pupil attendance records, and, in this capacity, he must also inquire into pupil absences. Since good attendance is so important in the matter of being successful in school, Mr. Sawin is constantly trying to help each pupil to improve his attendance habits. Since many reasons for poor attendance at school are the results of, or are in some way related to the health of the individual, the services of Miss Roop, our school nurse, are very impor- tant. She must try to keep an accurate chart of the health status of each individual in the school. She does this through the health records which she keeps for each pupil. During the course of the year, Miss Roop gives some examinations such as sight and hearing tests, and assists the school doctor in conducting the more complete examinations which are done yearly. Miss Roop works closely with pupils and their parents in an effort to assist each pupil to achieve the best possible state of health. Not all pupil problems are the result of poor health, however, and still another service is needed and offered at our school. ln the process of growing up, many questions arise as the pupil begins to assume more adult ways of thinking. Mr. Firestone, the guidance counselor, is in the school for just that purpose. His office is primarily for the pupils. He provides those sources of information which are necessary to help the pupil solve his problems and answer his or her questions. The chief information which Mr. Firestone is asked to supply concerns education and occupations, However, he works with any pupil who has any sort of problem to try, by individual counseling, to help that pupil to find his own answers to his problem. This is one characteristic of all of the pupil personnel services. Their principal aim is to help children to help themselves to adjust to the problems of growing up, whatever these problems may be. 64 0 STOCKER AUTO SALES-Chrysler-Plymouth-Quality Used Cars

Some of the fields that mcm- bers are interested in are: airplanes, boats. trains, automobiles, and houses. Most of the meetings are concerned with organizing, but now the group is planning its program of working and learning in the field of model building. Some meetings are instruc- tional and some are practice periods for the boys to develop their skill and techniques. When more room is available. the boys will have some large projects planned.
