Miss Martin discusses college plans with Joy Davis, Guidance Advisors Pattern Stud To be well-versed on information concerning vo- cational testing, Mr. Bishop reads one of the many bulletins that come to him. FQ, it me. ee :e , in 1 Gil bil ffl? While the administration sets up the cur- riculum pattern for students to follow in high school, the guidance department conveys this pattern to each student individually, helping him adjust it to his own needs and ambitions. The head ot Guidance, Mr. James W. Bishop, plans the methods of assistance given to students. He and the guidance counselors ot each unit help all students to recognize their abilities and develop them to their best advantage. Guidance advisors are Mrs. Elizabeth Ward, Parsons Hall, Mr. Carl Nave, McQuilken Hall, and Miss Margaret Martin, Persinger Hall. By receiving vocational and personal counseling from the same person for tour years, the student is enabled to familiarize the counselor with his particular problems and together they can arrive at a solution particularly profitable to that student. De- cisions are left up to the student and his parents, though helpful advice and sugges- tions are readily given.
