ilighlight Guidance Department Activities for Year Working directly with Edison’s students, as well as with parents and administration, is the Guidance Department under the direc¬ tion of George Gianakaris. At least once a year students see one ' of the six guidance counselors to plan their schedules for the com¬ ing year. Eighth graders who will be attending Edison the following year get acquainted with the school during a guidance orientation ; program. Established at the suggestion of the Guidance Department, the Newcomer’s Club has introduced new students to various extracur¬ ricular activities in the school. Groups of students are advised on college life and vocational careers through materials available in the guidance occupational room and through films. Highlighting this year’s guidance activities have been the presentation of a Career Night program with representatives from thirty vocations and the I I planning of a College Night at Lee High School. t MISS JOSEPHINE MATNEY Visiting Teacher MR.
