Preparing For The Take-Off During our years in Oakwood Junior and Senior High Schools the faculty has shared our eagerness to find the field in which we may have some ability or particular interest. Since the seventh grade our homeroom advisers, with the aid of various text' books, have impressed upon us the need for careful planning of our highfschool work for the best educational and vocational guidance. In order that we might Hnd out more about vocations in which we were interested, vocational conferences were arf ranged for seniors and other seniorfhigh students who wished to attend. Speakers rep' resenting various industries and professions had conferences with groups of students explaining to them the requirements for a particular field of work and the chances for advancement in that field. During the last semester of our senior year each senior has had a conference with the dean for the purpose of considering the next step after high school. If that step is college, the choice of college was discussed, the arrangements were made for en' trance, and high school records were checked to make sure the student had sufficient credits to meet college requirements. These conferences, as well as occasional consulf tations with college representatives, aided us immeasurably in making our choices. Those students planning to enter schools requiring College Board examinations have spent a great deal of time in special review and preparation. The faculty members have given freely of their time and assistance outside of regular school hours to the College Board students and others preparing for special scholarships or honors. This year, as in former years, scholarship tests have been taken by seniors in the upper forty per cent of their class. Scholarships in Ohio colleges are offered to those having a high ranking in the state, and a high state ranking also excuses College Board applicants from taking further examinations. The faculty has given us good counsel to assist us in reaching that goal toward which we have aimed. We shall endeavor to the utmost of our ability to be worthy of their confidence in us and to profit from their guidance. EMu1iel Musser . f' ,l a.., hh.
