Permanent Record Card One of the counselor's most important tools in analyzing a student's progress is the cumu- lative record shown below. It is the school's formal record of its effort to discover the individual differences among pupils over a six-year period. The unique value of a cumulative record is that the record of any trait of an individual over a period of years is more signincant than the record of that trait taken at any one pointy also that estimates on many different traits afford a much more accurate picture of the student's educational and vocational possibilities than the estimate of a single trait. Guidance It is the function of the Guidance Department at Mount Pleasant High School to correlate the education- al oiferings with the needs and aspirations of each student to assure a competent. happy, and well-ad- justed citizen. This is done through the mediums of group guidance classes and counseling interviews, con- ducted by professionally trained counselors in student personnel work. The entering classes in senior high school are heterogeneous groups, made up of students with many individual differences as to appearance and manner. educational achievement, physical limitations, emotional stability, and social and economic backgrounds. This -..ggi implies that assembly line educational techniques should not be used, but rather that each student be given in- dividual attention and consideration in selecting a pro- gram under the supervision of a counselor. Therefore the interests, aptitudes, and abilities of our students are taken into consideration and plans made accordingly. The work in guidance classes covers problems which are common to all in the fields of educational, occupa- tional. and social guidance: whereas the counseling interview enables the student to discuss problems of a personal and intimate nature. Thus a student. by taking the core subject of guidance. is able to analyze and appraise his strengths and weaknesses, set a course, prepare for and succeed in reaching his goal. 12 ya..-
