Fred Martin, head of the High School Counseling and guidance department, explained the aims of the department, the indoctrination of the freshman class to acquaint them with the school the first week in the fall, the scholarships avail able and the various tests which are given students during the year. The guidance department attempts to direct a student in the right vocational activity.

By this they hope to improve their curriculum. Sandy High School has one of the highest graduation require ments of any school in the state.
