GUIDANCE SERVICES Mrs. Lutz One of the main objectives of our Guidance Department is to encourage the individual pupil to make the most of his abilities so that he might develop into a happy contributing member of society. To accomplish this objective we provide various services. Some of these are: 1. Counseling 2. Initiate and continue the cumulative record 3. Adjust pupils in their classes here at school or in areas of special training 4. Provide college catalogs for student use 5. Collect and distribute scholarship information 6. Supply information concerning finances for college or special education 7. Self-aids for college-or special education 8. Provide beneficial group experiences 9. Administer and interpret an adequate testing program 10. Schedule pupils in classes 11. Arrange and conduct conferences with parents and teachers 12. Solicit the aid and recommendations of teachers Guidance services support and coordinate the other services of the school. We try to meet the needs of boys and girls which cannot be met through the instructional and administrative procedures. You might refer to these services as the hub of a wheel of interpersonal relationships among teachers, administrators, specialists, parents and other adults, and stu¬ dents. All of these relationships affect the life of the student. Some are good; others are harmful. Frequently the person becomes frustrated and needs the sympathetic but guiding help of a counselor. One of the busiest members of the Guidance Department is the secretary. She is responsible for scheduling parent-teacher conferences, requesting information, on transfer students sending out transcripts, mailing application to colleges for our Seniors and many other duties. She has proven to be a most efficient secretary and an asset to the department. Her willingness to please and pleasant ways have gained her the respect of both faculty and students. Mrs. Lankford 14
