The educational and vocational futures of senior high school students are the responsibility of our sen- ior high guidance counselor Mr. Ernest Spoerlein. A synopsis of the tasks entailed by Mr. Spoerlein is as follows. He presents information tothe students about various colleges and universities. Mr. Spoer- lein administers tests such as the California Achieve- ment Tests, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests, and the General Aptitude Tests Battery. Check- ing the number of points that each senior has earned and organizing the records of new students are some other tasks which Mr. Spoerlein performs. Our guidance counselor attended Bridgewater College and obtained the Bachelor of Arts degree from that institution. Mr. Kenneth Ward, the administrative assistant, is responsible for the Student Council, National Youth Corps, cafeteria supervision, and discipline. He over- sees the dismissing of the students, seating in the cafetorium and gymnasium for all school events, and athletic contests. The assigning of teachers' duties falls under the jurisdiction of Mr. Ward. These as- signments include hall and cafeteria duty, showcase displays and athletic contest responsibilities. Bus e- vacuation and fire drills are administered by the as- sistant to the administration. In cooperation with Mr. Domenick, Mr. Ward organizes the magazine cam- paign. He assists in the preparation of the master schedule and makes necessary arrangements for medical: attention when necessary. The office of the administrative assistant is kept busy by many other necessary and important functions. Prior to his coming to Southern, Mr. Ward taught in West Virginia for three years. He is presently teaching eighthand ninth grade science. His Bachelor of Arts degree was receivedat West Virginia Univer- sity, where he completed the training necessary for his important duties at Southern. Mr. Lewis Domenick serves as junior high guid- ance counselor at Southern. He helps to build good character among the younger high school students, as well as search for their capabilities. Methods used by Mr. Domenick to find these abilities are the Pri- mary Mental Ability Test, the Iowa Basic Skills Test, the California Achievement Test andother special ex- aminations. The responsibility of scheduling grades seven, eight, and nine is in the hands of the junior high guidance counselor. Mr. Domenick formerly held the position of president of the Garrett County Teachers Association and is presently the vice-president of that organiza- tion. He was principal of the summer school program this past summer. Teaching seventhgrade Englishand social studies is assigned to Mr. Domenick. Earning his Bachelor of Arts degree at Shepherd College and receiving his Master of Arts degree from West Virginia University are essential achievements inhis educational history.
