Guidance Services Help Pupils Make Adjustments A wide variety of services is provided by the Guidance Center. Counselors work in separate ways to enable students to make decisions. Six guidance offices are provided for full-time and part-time counseling. Students may also confer with the curriculum director, principals, and the registrar for problems that may demand major adjustments. During registration time, about halfway through a quin, guidance persons spend more time counseling students. A large number of students request help in choos- ing courses. Sometimes anxiety exists when one is uncertain about passing in a certain course. Often parental conferences are scheduled. The office also keeps students posted of test dates and the cost, if any. For the persons who do not know which tests to take, the guidance personnel give them special attention. The Guidance Center enhances the academic program by seeing that students are content with the classes that they are taking. With student adjustment, the overall program works more smoothly.

Consumer And Homemaking Adds Course The Consumer and Homemaking Department has worked to devise a program that will be both attractive and informative. Its offerings are superb. The department includes five general areas: Child Development, Marriage and Family, Foods and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, and Housing and Home Management. These areas are subdivided to include every phase of living. A new course. Home Equipment, is a study of major electric and gas equipment used in the home and of small portable appliances in modern kitchens. Areas of study include the range, refrigerator, micro-wave oven, water heater, air conditioner, dish washer, and disposal. Students demonstrate small equipment and often enjoy food treats prepared with small appliances. A field trip to Duke Power is included. The course was offered two quins this year In past years girls felt obligated to take only home economics and young men took only shop classes if they were interested in consumer and homemaking classes. A survey of today s classes reveals that males are also interested in home affairs. Though no girls at SHS have enrolled in shop classes. some have taken the mechanical drawing course. 20 Faculty Academics
