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.

Library Aids Pupils in Studying and Researching Boasting 12,000 books and 100 periodicals that span a five-year period, the Library strives to meet the educa- tional needs of Central's 2300 students and faculty members. Mrs. Mary Coker, head librarian, explained that the Library made an attempt to add any book that is requested by a teacher or student. Our purpose is to be of service,” she added. A flexible admission program was used by the Library this year whereby students are permitted to come to the Library without having to report to study hall. The Li- brary opens 45 minutes before classes begin in the morn- ings and closes 30 minutes after the regular school day has ended. A poster contest is sponsored by the Library yearly dur- ing National Book Week, which was October 30 through November 5 this year. Any student may enter the contest and prizes are awarded to the best three entries as selected by a faculty judging committee. Training sessions in using the Library are provided to all sophomores. Special sessions are given in junior and senior classes when requested. MRS. MARY COKER - BS. ASTC; BS, La. State U. Library Club. Central' library i a valuable ource of information to to- dentj.
