Friendly counseling ben efi ts all pupils The five years that have intervened since that first and most difficult one of 1954 have seen many new developments in the Guidance Department. Routine general conferences are now held twice a year with every student, even though the enrollment has increased from 1099 to 1220 and guidance duties are much more numerous and weighty. Mrs. Kephart is the guardian angel for eighth grade pupils and freshmen. Near the end of the school year, parents of eighth grade pupils confer with Mrs. Kephart to plan for school years ahead, and she continues to advise with freshmen throughout their first year as high school pupils. To Mrs. Palmer falls the work of guiding the upperclassmen, of compiling follow-up records of graduates, of helping secure schol- arships for many who want them, and of supervising iob place- ments for graduates. Each guidance counsellor has a Bachelor's degree from William and Mary College: Mrs. Palmer, a B.A., Mrs. Kephart a B.S. Both have done graduate work at Mary Washington College and at The George Washington University, Mrs. Palmer has done additional graduate.work at the College of William and Mary.
