Planning Futures Students may seek help in developing their college or career goals by con- sulting the guidance departments. The facilities available inthe Resource Cen- ter for student research include College and Business School catalogues, financial aid information, and descriptions of different professions. Several speakers from local businesses, industries, and universities regularly visit MHSS throughout the year. In the Spring, Career Day and College Night is held where exhibits instruct Juniors and their parents on how to choose a college, and apply for admission. Mr. Bailey and the other counselors have set up college seminars held dur- ing school hours for seniors. Helping students to complete high school suc- cessfully, and be well-prepared for their chosen goals is one of the main func- tions of the Guidance Department. To graduate a Senior must have taken two years of U.S. History, four years of English, two years of Mathematics, four years of Physical Education and several other courses of his own choosing. College-bound students usually take those courses in the sciences or foreign languages. If a vocational career is a student's goal, the guidance department may direct the student to more practical courses, such as drafting or graphics. Regardless of the students career choice, the guidance department can serve his needs. Clair Bailey Barbara H. Aaron ,, wi. . ,,.. ily. ' - Z ' ..,4ysvgf rm , fi, ' ,, V- ..,. ' 4 iff?

Q N! J, Patricia Smith 13 Edward Trenski Waller Woods Sound in Mind and Body Fitness and health are the concerns of the physical education department. Since mental well-being depends on one's physical health, a regular daily activity is needed for a produc- tive and enjoyable life. New Jersey law requires students to take physical education and health throughout their years in high school for this reason. Physical education does not only condition the body but prepares the student for future life experiences. Students learn the value of team work, self motivation, and to push their limita- tion farther and farther. They also learn the playing skills to en- joy a sport as a pastime for the rest of their lives. For students planning a professional career in sports, the department contacts colleges to secure full athletic scholarship for promising athletes in all sports. Many faculty members are familiar with a student's performance on school teams they have coached as well as in class. They can guide students to a field best suited to their individual talents and ambitions. ,,..-wwf--'Wm I -D in-l,,,,.. H ..,,,,.--..,.,,--w- M-, .... W.. .,...w--w 37'r' .3 .. kMMdNdn'Ad,W,,.,,,.
