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.

A re- sponsibility of the Guidance Department is the channeling of students into the proper courses. In turn, the various academic facul- ties must receive students, the Patrick Henry cast in this drama of education, and provide for them productive classroom experiences.

Gther courses offered are Speech, Reading Improvement, World Literature, Creative Writing and Journalism. We have been able to bring together large groups for instruction-to hear student dis- cussion, or that led by parents, other com- munity guests, or teachers of Patrick Henry or nearby colleges. Proudly we set new tra- ditions in all phases of pupil learning.
