The guidance department assists us in making realistic and suitable decisions not only in educational and occupational planning, which is its main objective, but also in any other questions which we may have. By administering group and individual tests of learning ability and academic aptitude, academic achievement, vocational aptitude, interest and personality traits, our counselors aid us to decide wisely. We are fortunate each year in having a series of educational and occu- pational conferences led by representatives of schools and institutions of further training, business, industry and labor, and the armed services. Together with the school library, the guidance department makes avail- able to us a wide assortment of educational and occu- pational literature. Mr. Karakashian is well known to Reading students in all schools, as he works with the aptitude and achieve- ment tests, and confers with us on the results. When the iuniors and seniors begin thinking about college, Mr. Mr. Karakashian Miss Nichols 5 1 3 5 , ss i Our lireclfom . . Me jacwgg MR. JOSEPH F. FITZGERALD Mr. Fitzgerald, administrative assistant to Mr. Sussmann, truly seems to be the indispensable man. His continued attention to the numerous problems of administration of our school and his help and counsel to the individual students have been appre- ciated by all of us. Certainly every student has benefited either directly or indirectly from his friendly guidance and consideration. Baker keeps us posted with college bulletins and inter- views, helping us decide and plan our future careers. Miss Nichols, our Dean of Girls, advises the younger girls and keeps the attendance records of all girls. ln addition, every one of us appreciates all she does to make our social affairs a success. We are very fortunate to have such competent and conscientious counselors to help us plan our courses while in high school and to advise and guide us in our choice of a vocation or of an institution for more advanced education. Probably none of us will realize until later in life how valuable their contributions have been. lt is obvious, however, that the best guidance and the most conscientious counseling would be of little value to any student unless the school offered a cur- riculum of sufficient caliber and scope to prepare him properly for his future role. We at Reading High are fortunate to have the combined advantages of competent guidance and a well-rounded course of study. Mr. Baker
