Guidance Program Includes Conferences, Tests, and Office Visitation At the present time each of the senior high school classes has its own guidance counselor: the seniors, Mrs. McGonigle; the juniors, Mr. Hughes; and the sophomores, Mr. Felver. Throughout the year students who have problems or difficulties may interview the guidance counselors for help. Frequently these interviews enable students to im- prove their weak and develop their strong points. As a special service to the students, the Nazareth Rotary Club is instrumental in securing speakers for vocational con- ferences in the areas of student choice. Scheduled during school time, these con- ferences cover the nature, preparation, and advantages of various vocations. Besides these career conferences, students are given an opportunity to take Vocational Aptitude Tests ad- ministered by a vocational counselor from the State Employment office at Easton, Pa. Through the cooperation of four local business sponsors — Penn Dixie and Lone Star Cement Companies and Nazareth National Bank and Trust Company and the Second National Bank — each of the fifty- seven senior commercial students has had an opportunity to observe the operation of business in an office. Before proceeding with the office visitation program, each businessgroup took the students to lunch.
