Many students, like Angle, are appreciative of the guidance departrneniis help. Cempbell. COPS, Career Occupational Preference System, is an interest inventory that helps ambitious students to define the kinds of careers they are interested in pursuing. Our strong guidance depart-'nent with a touch of humor makes difficult tests much easier to take and understand. Cl-IAPT Tl-IE FUTURE: GUIDANCE Facing a future unprepared is like entering an unlit room. Our chance of success in a tech- nically advanced society is in- creased by the assistance of our guidance department. Without them, the future is merely a capricious journey into the unknown. They, like a candle flame, shed a small sphere of light on the darkness of our un- certainty. Guidance counselors, Mr. Bill Cranfield, Mre. Linde Lewing, Mise Bonnie Btevene, and secretary Nlre. Joyce Cline, strive to direct us to- wards a bright and satisfying life. Flex- ibility and diversity of character enable them to relate to us on a personal basis. They understand our indecision about what college to choose and what career to pursue. Since they know that our voyage into adulthood will be encompassed by many pitfalls, they provide much scholarship infor- mation and special program opportu- 'ICJ nities that will enrich our minds. They attempt to instill in us moral principles that will enable us to boldly encounter life's challenges. This new generation's future is far different from that of previous years. They will be living in an extremely high tech society, therefore. we are pushing the awareness of futuristic jobs. explains Lewing. Cranfield is in agreement with Lewing, but he also feels that it is important for people to set ethical priorities straight while they are in their youth. l-le feels that this will aid in attaining fulfillment in life. Through training, hard work and past experiences, our guidance coun- selors are capable of giving us sound advice about personal and scholastic issues. l-lowever, they emphasize that it is better for us to derive our own solutions because it would bring us more satisfaction. Seeing the dif- ference or the results my counseling has made in someone's life is a great reward for me, expresses Stevens. Constantly lurking in the corners of their minds is a shadow of compas- sion for our quest in to the future. lf concerned at all, you could not go home without thinking about a stu- dent who had a problem, Stevens emphasizes. Cline, in accordance with Btevene, can also see the concern students have for their futures. She feels that since S5010 of our student body plans to further their education after graduation, a strong guidance department with a vast knowledge of secondary institutions is needed. I believe students should start compil- ing information about various colleges and technical schools as soon as possible, says Cline. Realization of the fact that they can be there for us to talk to and to give us needed information does not change the reality that they can only consti- tute a mere stepping stone in the de- velopment of our lives. The best advice I can give to a student, says Lewing, is to always have a goal to strive for. Cranfield sums up the best way they can help us, To have a friend, you must be a friend.

STUDTENTS FACE Tl-ll: Fl lTl ll-il-: tl IAI-il:l:l-iS South F2owan's students are taking an active interest in high- er educational plans and possi- ble careers. l-lowever, some are contemplating, on a some- what larger scale, what the fu- ture may hold. . As the modern society grows more technologically advanced, many high school students are seizing opportu- nities offered by the field of engineer- ing. Two South students. Kavln Irvln and Mark Howard, have chosen such careers. Kavln, a junior. intends to major in engineering at North Carolina State University. and dreams of em- ployment by NASA as an aerospace engineer. Mark, also interested in en- gineering. plans to attend State and later work for a major corporation, perhaps IBM or Duke Power. Very optimistic about his chosen career, Mark even anticipates earning enough money to have . . . several Ferraris and a Porsche or two to drive on weekends. Also entering the work force is a growing number of women, and the female population at South Flowan already realizes the implications of that factg more jobs are available to them than ever before. Junior Malia- aa Baaaingar describes her vocation- al plans as . . . something in the field of fashion - like modeling, having my own store, or designing clothes. l also would like to work with children. Linda Rhyna, a senior. has made a some- what different choice. I plan to go to college, hopefully East Carolina. I want to major in pre- lawllaw and one day establish my own law firm. Flealizing the pressures and difficulties associated with the field of law. Linda comments. lt will take a lot of ambition and determination to achieve anything you set out to do. The future promises diverse careers for seniors Hobart McCan- Iaaa and David Wright, two vastly dif- ferent personalities. Robart'a goals include two years as a Coast Guard officer and a later career in politics.. possibly as a senator for the State of Massachusetts. David plans to attend Western Carolina University and major in sports management. These students are not only con- cerned about their careers. but take a deep interest in the world's affairs. Some anticipate nuclear war and des- truction. Clthers, like Kavin, . . . be- lieve the Lord will prevent the world's destruction . . . we have nothing to worry about. 1 By: Jana Brown and Michalla Bara 1 .474 43,1 ...si l T F i i A -T' T A l yi Although Hobart Macanlaaa, Kavln Irvln, and Mark Howard all share musical interests and participate in South's Wind Ensemble. their career goals are greatly variedg Mark anticipates a future in electrical engineering.
