Counselors Assist Students in Making Decisions With the six full time counselors and two secretaries, the Guidance Department attempts to assist all Central students in solving their educational and social problems, and to give guidance in planning for their futures. A complete record of testing data, achievement scores, teacher evaluations, grades, and family background in- formation is kept on each student. It is on the basis of these records that counselors advise students on an in- dividual basis, pointing out weaknesses and strengths in order that each student will know himself, his achieve- ments, and his potentialities. Information can be obtained from the Guidance De- partment on almost every college and trade school in the U.S. Many of the major colleges also send representatives to the school to assist potential cnrollecs. Admission tests for these colleges arc administered through the counselors. Mrs. Helen Conrad is in her second year as chair- man of the Guidance Department. Mrs. Doris Glonn, guidance counselor, goes through some materials with student Becky Kingrey to aid her in selecting the college she will attend. MILTON R. ARMSTRONG - BSE, MSE. ATSC.
