GHS Career Day Plans
Now Nearing Completion
Plans for Careers Day which
is being sponsored by the Student
Council TTaursday November 29,
are nearing completion, according
to Bill O’Brien, Student Council
president.
Seniors, juniors, and sophomores
will participate in all Careers
Day activities. The principal pur
pose of this ^cial day is to pre
sent students information which
will guide them in deciding on
perspective careers.
Some time ago, every student in
the school was given an interest
form to fill out. Through this he
indicated his three choices for a
later occupation. The forms were
tabulated, giving a person his
first and second choices as a study
group whenever possible. Out of
41 professions offered, secretar
ial work, the armed forces, nurs
ing, and teaching ranked highest
in that order.
Outstanding Speakers
Professional and business men
and women, all outstanding in
their respective fields, have been
scheduled to talk with students on
this day. These people will speak
briefly about advancement oppor
tunities, pay, hours, and qualifi
cations necessary for particular
areas in which students are in
terested. No attempt will be made
to glamorize a profession, but
rather each speaker will strive
to present imbiased facts upon
which a sound decision may be
based.
Day’s Schedule
The iisual schedule for this day
will be altered a great deal. Home
room period, first and second
periods will take place as usual.
Then at 11 a. m. all home rooms
