DEAN GUIDANCE DEANS STRESS GUIDANCE Dean Hudson gives Mary Aten and Christine Walter the Kuder Preference Test to indicate vocational inter- ests. ABSENTEEISM VS. PATRIOTISM Dean Pratt, Marie Dittoe, Virginia Shull, Lanessa Kig- er, and Ruth Boyer are busy at the job of pupil-account- ing. “Mr. Pratt, I have a job. I’ll have to get excused early.” This speech is sung regularly in the attendance office. Four majors and gym give any student a full day, and a working permit creates a real problem. “About 35% of our students have part-time work,” estimates Mr. Pratt. - Work experience is valuable, but the man power shortage is cheating some of our students out of an education. ‘Man to Man,’ I’d say, ‘It’s patrtoic to stay in school as long as possible.’” “Quick, Miss Hudson, I’ve cut my hand.” And our dean rushes to give first aid. As for Mr. Pratt, he has a flourishing lost-and-found bureau in his office. And another job our deans perform is the arrangement of our activity cal- endar of assemblies, dances, etc. Dean Hudson firmly believes in guid- ance based on friendly interest in girls’ problems as well as on tests and study of records. In adjusting students in school, she has the help of the Big Sister Club.
