Guidance Department Does More Than Counsel

When the average person thinks of the guidance department of a typical high school, he usually thinks only of the counseling service. To be sure, the individual and private counseling interview is the very heart of the service, but it is, still just a part of it. The guidance depart-. ment must also be involved with the collection and recording of all pertinent date concerning the student. Examples of this are: identifying data such as name, age, birthdate and address; health records; family information; achievement (grades); interests and aversions; and life goals and ambitions as to education and-or vocations.

larger school system with a larger staff is the counselors’ ability to concentrate in certain areas and provide more and better service to students, faculty, administration and community by his or her specialization. As well, all counselors are vitally concerned with and contribute greatly to the total guidance program of service. The guidance department of Wawasee high school is under the corporation supervision of Lewis Immel, director of pupilpersonnel and guidance service of the Lakeland Community Schools. Jack Marlette is the immediate director of the Wawasee high school guidance program and is responsible to the
