Curriculum and Guidance Clilford Wise, ClIl'l'iL'IIllllll CVOOITHIIIIIOI' Mrs. Hinckley first came to Medina High School to teach English. Mr. Howard Brown, the principal, asked Mrs. Hinckley to be a guidance counselor one period each day. When Mr. Trip- pensee became the principal, he increased that one period to a half-day. In the early stages of its development, the guidance department handled troubled students while today its major purpose is to guide students in choosing their high school courses and their post-high school careers. Mrs. Hinckley attended Geneseo State Teach- ers College and went to Columbia University for her degree. She has also attended the University of Rochester, Cornell University, and the Univer- sity of Buffalo. During her free time next year, Mrs. Hinckley hopes to be able to spend more time as a church and community worker. The administration, fac- ulty, and students of M.H.S. will find it difficult to get along without her. Curriculum co-ordinator, Mr. Clifford Wise, supervises the development of the various sub- jects by investigating new and improved methods of education to the school. In order to better un- derstand the problems and needs of the students, he visits the classrooms and contributes valuable suggestions for educational progress. Mrs. Hinckley and Mr. Parsons, the school's guidance directors, assist the students in making their social, educational, vocational, and moral adjustments to a modern, adult environment. Their sound advice and wise counseling has led many students through a prosperous four years of high school and into a satisfying vocation of their own choosing. With the use of testing programs and personal interviews, the Guidance depart- ment is able to determine quite accurately a stu- dent's abilities, aptitudes, and preferences. An abundant supply of pamphlets. bulletins and magazines is also made available to the student body. Doctor. lawyer, merchant. chief? Olga Hinckley. Guidance Director for Girls 8 David Parsons.
