Direction From Six Anxious-To-Help Advisers The guidance program at Malden High School is designed to help each student discover for what field of work he is best suited. Through individual conferences with our guidance direc- tors, Miss Helene W. Moore, Miss Edna E. Turkington, and Mr. Chester A. Santilli, and though tests administered by Miss Arlene Walton, director of testing, this is achieved. Each year for one full day in the fall the iuniors take a series of tests, administered by Mr. Charles M. Sparkes, sponsored by Boston University, These tests cover such fields as reading, comprehension, vocabulary, problem solving, spatial relations and clerical work. The sopho- mores under the supervision of Miss Arlene Walton, take an LQ. test in the fall to determine their aptitudes in relation to their other classmates, and this year all the sophomore English classes were given special com- prehension tests. The Senior Class Mas- ter, Mr. Robert W. Perry, who is also head of the Science Department, Junior Class Master, Mr. F. Champlain Webster, who is Master in Charge of Tardiness and also heads the Latin Department, and Sophomore Class Master, Mr. Clarke R. Brookes, who is a member of the History Department, keep the students of M.H.S. in line at all times. TABULATING STUDENTS' CHOICES FOR CAREER DAY which will be held on April 15, are Diane Venuti, Corrine Grenier, Patricia Deragio, Gail DeCoste and Janet Hurean. These girls are helping Miss Moore who has charge of this guidance function. On this particular day, no classes will be held and the students of Malden High and Malden Vocational will attend lectures on subiects interesting to them - such as Nursing, Business Opportunities, Law, Hairdressing, Mechanics, etc. asssws.1,,e,.,. fo., .. f .Q ,.,. wfwe.,,-'za - A WITH NEVER A MINUTE TO SPARE, Miss Turkington, Dean of Girls, discusses opportunities of Boston University to these girls. In this iob, Miss Turkington holds individual conferences with the girls besides group meetings for all those interested in a particular school or vocation. Always interested in the welfare of her girls, Miss Turkington has accompanied some when otherwise they would have had to go alone for college interviews. CHECKING UP ON STUDENTS' RECORDS is one of the many iobs that Mr. Santilli does. As the full-time guidance director of boys, he schedules individual conferences with those boys who plan to further their education and arranges assemblies where boys interested in the some field meet together.
