Through guidance a student is helped to find the key to a successful future. Leading a student in the right direction is the task of Oxford Hills guidance counselors - Robert Clifford, Barbara Hall, and Robert O,Connor. It is by no means an easy job. Many of the problems that burden high school students eventually fall upon the shoulders of the guidance counselors. Schedule conflicts, vocations, college choices, and personal problems are ex- amples of what a counselor encounters during the course of the day. It is through this guidance that the student is able to understand himself better and to recognize his interests in order to select the career for which he will be best qualiied. In addition to assisting students, the guidance counselors arrange interviews and informal meet- ings with representatives from institutions of higher learning, branches of the armed services, and other governmental agencies. They also arrange and su- pervise such tests as the College Entrance Exam- ination Boards, the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Tests, and the General Aptitude Test Battery. With the results of these tests and the knowledge of the student, the guidance counselors are able to guide individuals on to the right path to a successful and rewarding life. Mr. O'Connor, Mr. Clifford, Mrs. Hall. Now as I was saying

Aided by the intercom system and the other fine facilities in the new building, they have kept the records and files in order and have handled school matters quickly and efficiently. A large majority of school business is taken care of by these secretaries. Without them we could not maintain one of the finest school systems in the state.
