Guidance Counselors Schedule Tests The counselors that formed the Guid- ance Department faced some of the toughest problems at P.C.H.S. The big- gest task was to register and schedule approximately 2,000 students. The Guidance Department offered counsel- ing in the areas of future plans, work, school and personal problems. Each guidance counselor selected a specific grade level to specialize in guiding. Throughout the year, counselors were a source of consolation to many distraught Seniors faced with the mounting prob- lems of graduation, college boards, and re-scheduling difficulties. Each week counselors published a bulletin inform- ing Seniors of the latest in the areas of job openings, college information, and general scholastic activities. They admin- istered Scholastic Tests, Achievement Tests and registered students for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Bat- tery Tests. They advised Seniors on col- lege applications, scholarship opportuni- ties and job placement. Their advice proved to be both practical and valuable; and few students left their office feeling confused or unanswered. The confidence that the Guidance Department inspired in P.C.H.S. stu- dents was really unbelievable. There was an assurance that any problem, no mat- ter how trivial, received total attention and the best solution. Although assigned grade levels, each guidance counselor took time to listen to any student, and the warmth generated by their offices was widely appreciated at P.C.H.S. Mrs. Mary Cox was secretary of the Guidance Department. She kept an accu- rate account of the filing of the student registers, each class’s schedule cards, and any other paper work. She added to the open atmosphere in this section of the school. Mrs. Mary Cox, Guidance secretary, warmly wel- comes students who come to the Guidance office for assistance. 18
