Magnet for job seekers Raymond Elias, taking the few steps that led him through the Placement Bureau door, confronted the smiling face of Mrs. Marion Van Meter, placement interviewer. Like many another student, Elias was searching for a job opening that would be in line with his course of study, that of a pre- med major. Sitting down, Elias told Mrs. Van Meter what he had in mind. Inspecting a long list of possible choices, luck ran true as she found exactly what he had hoped for-employment as a laboratory assistant. In visiting the Placement Bureau with the idea of securing this particular type of job, Elias was taking one of the early steps toward his long range career plan, specializa- tion in neurology. Employment in an educational position through the Placement Bureau allows for an outlook' of advancement even while still taking college courses. After initial place- ment, an active concern is taken with the student as to how he is getting along in his job. This attitude is taken to keep intact the amiable relations that have become a trade- mark of the bureau. The Placement Bureau was set up as a small operation by Mrs. Mary Bruick in 1950. At the time she was the only person involved. Mrs. Bruick engineered the production of what is now called the Occupational Explora- tion Series. In 1953 she turned to full-time counseling. At length Dr. Dallas Livingston-Little, placement coordinator, and Mrs. 'Marion Van Meter were put in charge of the system, which ha sexpanded into a full-time estab- lishment. I After some ll years the bureau has sprung into an operation that places on the average of 10 to 12 students per week in jobs. In September almost 100 students were placed, the largest amount to that date. Hopes are in order for just as large numbers of students in the future. Meanwhile, back on the job, Ray Elias is happy that he took those short strides that led him to the door displaying the sign Placement Bureau. As happy as the many others. Not all students plan to be a part of the medical profession as does Elias, of course, but there are other jobs to be filled in other areas. The Placement Bureau is an integral part of the college, referring the forward- looking student to jobs throughout the Val- ley and showing the employer just what Valley College stands for . . . friendliness. Mrs. Marion Van Meter, placement interviewer since 1953, displays a radiant smile following the successful placement of Ray Elias in a part time iob. .Y rp Dr. Dallas Livingston Little part time counselor as well as placement coordinator sets 'forth details with Ray Elias as to his duties on the lob If 5
