Each class received individual counseling Mrs. Lucille Shelburne Hodnett A.B., Lynchburg College M.A., University of Virginia Counselor National Honor Society Sponsor FTA Advisor Mr. Stewart and Deas Capehart explore her choice of courses. As the result of an enlarged student body, each counselor worked with the same class for all three years. In this way, the counselors feel that they can better understand the problems that each class now faces and will en¬ counter in the future. Each of the counselors dealt in the five main areas of counseling, which are orientation, testing, analysis of the individual, information, and personal adjustment. Under the testing program, seniors may take SAT and achievement tests, which are necessary for admission to most colleges. In the fall, juniors took the PSAT, which prepared them for the SAT they took in May. Sopho¬ mores were given the compulsory SCAT-STEP tests to determine their strengths and weaknesses in the fields of math, science, social studies and verbals. One of Mrs. Lucille Hodnett’s main objectives was helping seniors select the right college and conferring with representatives of various colleges as to admission requirements. Weekly meetings on preliminary college infor¬ mation completed Mr. Bruce Stewart’s duties as junior counselor. Miss Odell Smith ably guided and orientated the sophomores during their first year at Page.
