Is Service-Oriented bne of them. The Guidance Department at Pula- ski County High School was a serv- ice-oriented, integral part of the whole faculty. It was designed to serve as a support system for a good instructional program by helping students gain better insight into their strengths and weaknesses and reach realistic short-range and long-range goals. The department was divided into specific grade levels for the pur- pose of organization, for administer- ing tests, for providing pertinent information to students and faculty, and for keeping records. While there was a counselor with specific duties at each grade level, as well as a job placement counselor and a director of guidance, the department also worked as a whole helping students with problems of an immediate nature. Counselors worked with in- school and outside agencies that offered sources of consultation and referral. Guidance for the ninth and tenth graders was oriented primarily toward the exploratory years, while at the eleventh and twelfth grade lev- els it was directed toward helping students make choices. The purpose was to aid students in growing from dependence into independence. The philosophy of guidance at P.C.H.S. was directed toward helping stu- dents mature into productive adults. The rhino ' s philosophy is not that of the guid- ance department! MRS. JEAN BLANKENSHIP Radford College, V.P.I. and S.U., University of Virginia, University of Louisville; B.S..
