Guidance Department: The Guidance program offers innumerable 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 school 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. 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. 18 Benjamin Epstein, Principal OFFICE STAFF — Left to Right: Naomi Barish, Rose Zinberg, Bertha Weiss, Florence Rostoff, Lila Gollin, Evelyn K.

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 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.) Office Staff: One of the most unrewarding jobs in the school is that of office worker. These few women work behind the scenes to aid the administration and do the tremendous amount of clerical work necessary in a school as large as Wecquahic. This work includes keeping records, ordering supplies, handling finances, sending out notices, and running the lost and found department. In addition, the office staff is often forced to contend with nagging students and irate parents. However, the job that requires the greatest concentration of work at one time and concerns seniors the most is the filling out of college transcripts. This task is made harder by the fact that everybody always waits until the last week to flood the office with transcripts, and rush the staff in an effort to get the records out on time. Although the office workers may not always be appreciated, they are always needed. The principal, Mr. Epstein, the vice-principal. Miss Bowerman and the administrative assistant, Mr. Goldberg appreciate the efforts of this cooperative staff. These industrious administrators are responsible for the well-run organization of our school.
