The Guidance program offers innumeraole services for giving effective help to students making necessary adjustments to the school’s organization and activities. It also offers comprehensive help in making social and personal adjustments. The head counselor devotes full time to planning, administering, and co-ordinating the various activities and services involved in guidance. Assisting him is a college adviser who devotes at least three periods a day to helping students with problems relating to post-high school education and college admission. Placement service is also available through the Guidance department for pupils wishing part-time or after graduation employment. The placement counselor gives information about working papers and assists in completing the school record. Graduate follow-up studies are prepared by the placement counselor. The placement counselor will try to aid pupils in making an effective transition from school to work. The Placement office is room 111. Each grade has a grade adviser, and if the class is large, the grade adviser may have one or two assistants. The grade advisers advance with the classes throughout their stay at school. The grade advisers or assistants help each student plan a program of studies which is suited to his individual interests, abilities, aptitudes, and desires. Each student is given a minimum of one interview per term. If a student needs other help, advisers and assistants are available as often as the need arises. Students are urged to turn to the guidance department for information and help concerning personal and school adjustments, problems dealing with choice of schools, selection of subject combinations and sequences, vocational planning, career choice, post-high school educational plans (college, technical and special schools), job placements, and extra-curricular activities. All interviews require appointments. However, punctuality for these appointments is important to avoid conflicts with other students’ appointments. The guidance offices on the first floor and in room 311 have catalogues and scholarship information for most colleges and schools. They also make available free occupational literature (plus any other materials that might prove beneficial in terms of school and vocational decisions).—see Isserman, Laura; La Penna, Harold; Stein-holtz, Lena; Weinstein, Louise M.
