V To Give Help Is Their Purpose, Goal Did you ever wonder who went to all that trouble to give those vocational tests? Giving tests, scoring tests, filing requests for admits, tiling and checking out vocational material to students, mak- ing profile sheets are only a few of the various jobs performed by the Guidance Council. Each member works one hour every day with the counselor, Mrs. Gladys Vaught. They help to save her time and work so that she can administer her worthwhile services 10 the students. Performing a valuable service to the school, this busy and active group is composed of four seniors and four juniors. Toward the end ot each school year, two girls and two boys from the sophomore class are chosen by the council to take the place ot the graduating seniors. Scholarship, character, de- pendability, and co-operation are some of the traits taken into consideration when selecting new mem- bers. The student handbook is published by the Guidance Council. Articles on vocations, scholarships, apprenticeship training programs, and other help- ful information appear in the school paper each month. Noon hour movies and many other proiects are sponsored by the Guidance Council. Two seniors, a boy and a girl, are chosen each year by the Guidance Council and the faculty, to receive the citizenship awards sponsored by this group. These seniors are chosen tor their outstand- ing citizenship during their four years in high school. The council assists with such guidance services as College Day, Career Day and Eighth Grade Visit- ing Day. Since the Assembly Committee and Social Committee are a part of the sch0ol's guidance serv- ices members for these committees are chosen by the Guidance Council with the approval of the faculty.

Just recently they were featured in the Annual Spring Concert.
