From orientation night when the prospec- tive student is first informed of the courses at Pope Pius until that night when as a grad- uate he leaves the school, he is in close con- tact with the guidance department. Lively and informative occupation classes acquaint the underclassmen with many vo- cational opportunities awaiting them. Test- ing programs measure both capabilities and achievement. Private conferences with ex- perienced counsellors help students under- stand the meaning of test results and aid them in selecting proper courses. The annual Career Night aids upperclassmen in decid- ing what college to attend. Every opportunity is provided for obtain- ing solutions to students' problems. Personal interviews with the priests and other faculty members are scheduled. Class instruction and discussion are held and assembly pro- grams arranged. All these factors along with the ready counsel of homeroom teachers place the cooperative student well on the way to o successful future. Page I2 f 'V ... , dor SISTER M.
