'ml ' JM Guidance The Guidance Department helps each student to better understand him- self, his potential and the ways in which this potential can be directed in the future. Although' this self-knowledge is effected chiefly by means of personal interviews with the guidance counselors, each student completes a battery of tests before leaving Marian. The NEDT is given to freshmen and sopho- mores, this is a measure of achievement valuable to the student, his parents, and his teachers. juniors take the PSAT which not only provides them with evaluatory material but also functions as a trial test for college entrance examinations.

Juniors may also take the National Merit Test to qualify for scholarship consideration and the Kuder Preference Test to come to a better understand- ing of their true career preferences. Besides knowing his capabilities, each student must find' out how he can best develop them. In addition to making numerous bulletins available, the Guidance Department holds an annual College and Career Night to ac- quaint-juniors and seniors with the various types of higher training available to them. Last October representatives from twelve vocational schools and thirty-three colleges and universities spoke to students and their parents. These people came from as far east as Harvard in Massachusetts and as far south as St. joseph-Rio Grande in New Mexico. Members of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps and Air Force were also present to answer the ques- tions of anyone planning to enter military service. In addition to this formal presentation, senior girls were introduced to some aspects of college life on a more informal basis by a group of alumnae who visited religion classes and answered questions about such things as courses of study, Wardrobe planning and social life. it l l it TV Mm V ' l 'i 'li' l .ij Sophomores struggle with NEDT tests.
