Ju'ne,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 73 who spoke of the opportunities which they share as students of the Tech. A genial Techalogue reporter comments that, 'KThe rest of the evening was filled with dancing, games and lunch. Mr. E. C. F. Chan, who acted as master of ceremonies, was responsible for much of the success for the whole evening. mi-km., SECOND YEAR PARTY Under the excellent management of Mr. Welch and Miss Scrim- geour, the second year students enjoyed the novelty of an indoor field meet. The results of all events from a discus throw fpie plate, that ish to the dash were recorded on a huge score-board. Four teams with original titles and yells sharpened the competition and heighten- ed the interest. After such vigorous work-outs the athletes were refreshed by a lovely lunch. The pleasant evening ended with dancing and murmurs of satisfaction. ,gl FOURTH YEAR STUDENTS HAD PLEASING PARTY Outstanding in the social events of the senior students was the fourth year party. Music was furnished by Spike Jones and His City Slickersf' while the work of master of ceremonies was handled by Jack Hagerman. The fourth year reporter who wrote up this party was most sparing of details, but he does make it clear that there was consider- able Jivin' and Jumpin', along with a minimum of conventional dances such as waltzes. .,.y.., THIRD YEAR STUDENTS HAD A LIVELY PARTY Ongthe evening. of November 2 the third year party was held in the auditorium. Music was provided by a wurlitzerganel Mr. A. H. Finlay as master of ceremonies kept the programme going at a good rate. A feature of the evening was a contest held in the middle of the floor: Each of two girls was given a grapefruit to hold under her chin. Two boys had the almost impossible task of transferring the grapefruits to a resting place under their own chins-all without the use of hands. ..T.-gg., HARD TIMES DANCE PROVED INTERESTING Straw hats, overalls, and broom sticks were some of the signs of merriment as the crowd swung and swayed to the music of Frank Wieler and his College Nine on the occasion of the Hard Times Dance. Jack Hagerman of 4B, 1945, was master of ceremonies and kept things running smoothly. The Techalogue has received only a scanty story of this event, but everyone who was there appears to have had an excellent time.

74 THE TECHALOGUE June,1946 GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING PROGRAM IN FULL SWING FILLS A SERIOUS NEED IN TECH In so far as it is possible every student in the school has had a personal interview this year with either of the vocational guidance counsellors, lVLr. Mathers or Miss Scrimgeour. These interviews have been made possible through the inauguration last September of a counselling program as a permanent part of school board policy. Personal problems, educational matters and possible vocational choices form the chief topics of discussion. Before a student of any class can be called for an interview, considerable organization work must be done with the class as a whole. The organization has been planned so as to provide for a considerable degree of continuity from year to year in each of the Industrial, Commercial and Academic departments. In addition each home room teacher has been allotted one period a week in which he or she is expected to discuss with the class in a general way educa- tional and vocational problems. Since the school counsellors teach but a fraction of the individuals whom they have to interview all information available must be col- lected and considered before appointment slips are given tothe stu- dent. Such information consists in part of previous school record, personal and family background, test of mental ability, test of clerical or mechanical aptitude, a personality adjustment questionnaire which indicates areas of possible maladjustment, and a vocational interest inventory which indicates occupational areas of interest. In addition senior boys who are planning on taking engineering at the university are given a test to determine their ability to do the specialized type of work required of engineers and mechanics. Interviews are arranged for students by means of appointment slips, distributed at the beginning of each half day. Interviews may last from twenty to thirty minutes each, and immediately following the interview a summary of the matters discussed is put down in writing to form a part of the student's permanent record. As soon as all members of any one class have been interviewed, a class clinic is held, during which, with the counsellor as chairman and to which all subject teachers have been invited, each student and the quality of work he is doing is discussed. Many interesting and enlightening facts and factors are often revealed by means of which the student may easily receive the benefit. The Principal in turn receives a copy of a summary of each class in which are indicated the salient points regarding each student. By so doing he is provided with a fairly complete picture of individuals which it would otherwise be im- possible for him as an administrator to obtain. It should be pointed out here that the results of interviews are held in strict confidence as between the counsellor and the student except in cases where such information is required for the consideration of special cases. It has been implied earlier in this article that group guidance is the responsibility of each home room teacher. With the advent
