Sponsored by the Young People EVERYBODY WELCOME Assembly of God Church 8th and Oak Streot$ C. 0. Ron, Pa$tor The problem of advising Klamath Union high school's 1200 to 1300 students concerning the courses most desirable for each In the light ol his present Interest and passible luture is a large one and Is shared by several groups of people. Primary responsibility lor this task rests upon a group ol people whom we call "the counselors." but some of the work Is done by the dean of boys and the dean of girls and, In the case of those Interested In vocational work, by the voca tional department. Advice concerning students with physical handicaps or special phy sical requirements comes from the school nurse. Office Open Although the counselors arc busy much of the time with routine mat ters of registration, re-scheduling, and checking records to see that students arc meeting state gradua tion requirements, the counselors' office Is open every period of the day throughout the school year for consultation with Individual stu dents about courses most desirable with reference to the student's abil ities and future plans. Charts with all subjects available for each grade level are always on display, and a fairly complete set of catalogs from Western colleges and from some of the more promi nent Eastein colleges Is kept handy. Many students, especially seniors, seek advice from the counselors on Uie choice of colleges. The dean of boys and the dean of girls maintain office hours during live of the seven periods of the day, and while they devote themselves more to the personal than to the academic problems of students, they can give similar advice. School Nurse Helps Information dealing with physical handicaps and special requirements is compiled by the school nurse and given to the faculty and counselors. Beginning next fall, vocational In terest and aptitude tests will be given to all freshman, and the re sults made available to students, deans and counselors. In addition to holding Individual conferences throughout the year, Uie counselors every spring meet all students in English classes, review graduation requirements, and de scribe available courses before ask ing each pupil to choose his sub jects for the following year. Indi vidual problems which cannot be handled during this procedure are adjusted later In conferences. For etghUi graders the school also sup plies a pamphlet describing all freshman subjects, which each stu dent Is asked to take home and dis cuss with his parents before he reg isters for his freshman year. Coun selors visit Fremont and Altamont junior high schools and Falrhaven and Kcno grade schools each May i to sign up eight graders for high school. For first year mathematics and all English courses students are given aptitude tests and assigned to classes especially designed to meet their needs: all other classes are utuegregaled. The choice ot option! : courses for freshmen Is not large, but It Increases greatly for students during the later years. Special petl- Hons signed by parents allow stu ; dents with better than average 1 scholasUc rating to carry one addl - tlonal course each year above the ! normal load.
