which have confronted the past and will confront the current worlds. These courses are designed to pro- vide such knowledge. At the end of this instruction the McKinley graduate is well aware of his rights and his responsibilities and has ac- quired some of the background nec- essary to their wise and intelligent use. J B GUIDANCE The function of the Guidance De- partment is to coordinate all pupil personnel services such as those of the nurse, doctor, psychologist, at- tendance officer and visiting teach- er, Mr. Russell Mancuso, the Coun- selor, also harmonizes his own ac- tivities with those of the school fac- ulty to stimulate the pupil to make the most of his potentialities. The Counselor's procedures - keeping records, testing, counseling, inter- viewing, accumulating and dissem- inating information - are tools with which to help pupils to better self- understanding and self-direction. Pre-registration programs help the pupil make an intelligent high school choice. Before graduation the pupil is also assisted in making post high school plans. The Guidance Office, in addition, offers assistance in placement.

All activities undertaken were attuned to this. The Council is organized on a dem- ocratic basis. The framework is that of a federation. Representatives are elect- ed by their fellow students from the in- dividual shop groups. Delegates are chosen by the various activities. All class- es are represented by their top officers. Meetings of the Council are conducted according to accepted parliamentary pro- cedures. Life experience in the democ- ratic process is thus provided. The Council sponsored two skating parties this year, the most successful ones we ever held. We also conducted sev- eral assemblies. The Junior Red Cross Committee was especially active. Our representation on the Inter-High Council was faithfully maintained. Probably the most spectacular activ- ity sponsored by the Student Council was the Spring Festival Variety Show. Charles Carfley acted as producer and Arthur Gawlak as M.C. There was a larger number of acts each seemingly better than the others. The entire stu- dent body agreed that this was the best show in years. The cast and the sponsor- ing teachers deserved great credit for their efforts. The Student Council Officers are.
