Guidance Mods Appear on Schedules Guidance secretary, Mrs. Jean Lane, and records clerk, Mrs. Peggy Hiers, assist the guidance counselors in any way that they can to keep the office running smoothly. Career lectures were prepared for all the students by the guidance depart- ment. Each student had group guid- ance as part ot his regular schedule for a semester once every six weeks. During Guidance Mods the counse- lors asked the students what their goals were after they graduated and counted up their credits to see what subjects they needed that were re- quired for them to graduate. As one of their responsibilities the counselors provided educational, vo- cational and personal-social counsel- ing for the students. They also were in charge of orientation for the new students at Rickards. Statewide ninth and twelfth grade tests and the PSATlNMSWT, offered by the College Entrance Examina- tion Board, were sponsored by the guidance department. The counselors, Mrs. Rosebud Bru- ton, lVIrs. Martha Foster and Mrs. Melinda Revell also had the responsi- bility of homerooms. 25
