The guidance department of Yale High School, under the direction of Mr. James Lynch, consists of five major areas in which students are endeavored to be given help. Mr. Lynch helps make the students more aware of their capabilities so they may make realistic, worth-while decisions in planning their future. The five areas of Guidance and Counseling are orientation, testing, counseling, placement, and follow-up. The major emphasis, of the course, is placed on the counseling of individuals or groups of individuals. The other four phases are taken into considera- tion. Orientation consists of getting the student acquainted with the entire High School program as they move from Junior High to High School. Testing plays a major part in Guidance. Testing is done to find major areas of interest and to find out as nearly as possible the students actual ability and achievement. Then, of course, comes the major part of the guidance program, counseling itself. Counseling gives information to the student and parents. It con- sists also of matters and concerns of students as to personal- social relationships and any problem that they may encounter in which help is needed to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. Placements consist of placing a student in the proper pro- gram of study while in high school, such as College Prep., Vocational, or General. The recommendations and transcript of grades for college students along with the help in filling out applications occur in the guidance office. All college catalogs for the state and some out of state along with their applications for admission and scholarships are part of the department. All types of occupational information are also maintained in our files. Follow-ups consist of keeping track of the majority of the students as they progress through school and after they are out of school. This is done by questionnaires, visits to campuses each year where our college students go, and on some occasions personal interviews with ex-graduates. This is done to find out information as to how we can improve our program of studies. MR. JAMliS LYNCH Central Michigan University, B.S.
