Parkview's counselors performed a diversity of tasks during the course of this year. They provided guidance to students in forming their plans for the future and in handling the problems of high school life. They offered assistance in the selection of a college, in application for scholarships, and in investiga- tion of job opportunities. V The counselors administered group diagnostic tests and held conferences with the students to evaluate their per- formance and potential, whether they were considering cer- tain courses for their study in high school or contemplating particular colleges or vocations. They also kept extensive records to provide information to other schools, teachers, or prospective employers. The counselors were always available for conferences with students, their parents, or teachers. They were con- cerned with student academic achievement, their attendance attitude, personal problems, and goals. Conferences with students on scheduling, scholarship applications, and individual problems were held by the counselors. Mr. Clzalg Sobotka fright! worked on an admission form, submitted by a senior, and Miss Lucille Dugan talked with Gary Welsh fbelowl about scheduling for his senior year.
