Guidance Meet
Held at College
Approximately 98 counselors
and administrators attended the
second annual Guidance Con-
ference at South Plains College
Nov. 18. The ones attending
were from towns ranging from
Pecos to Childress.
The conference, designed for
school superintendents, senior
and junior high school coun-
selors and principals, began at
5:30 p.m with an overview;
“Why College Level Technical
and Vocational Training”? by
Dr. Marvin Baker, South Plains
College president.
The five speakers who parti-
cipated in the program were:
G. B. Morris, Guidance Direc-
tor, Lubbock Schools; W. G.
Cummens, U. S. Office of Ed-
ucation, Dallas, Texas; E. E.
Miller, Vocational Director,
Lamar State College, Beau-
mont, Texas; John Guemple,
Texas Education Agency, Aus-
tin, Texas; and Dr. Everett
Erb, East Texas State, Com-
merce, Texas.
Mr. John P. Yates, counselor
and director of testing at South
Plains College, arranged for the
speakers and the meeting, at

the composition. Farmers are
of bamboo. ‘The Calendar of
Life has great meaning for the
native people,” declared Mrs.
Irwin.
The brass vases are hand
carved with scenes, also por-
traying life of the people of
Java. Banka tin is sometimes
called Indonesian silver. It is
made by a special process, is
very durable, and is a popular
export item. According to Mrs.
Irwin the items are too expen-
sive for the native’s use, and
are made especially forexport.
During her year of foreign
teaching in Indonesia, Mrs. Ir-
win visited on the islands of
Java and Bali, two of the five
major islands and several small
islands which comprise Indon-
es ia.
The exhibit on display during
the working hours of the lib-
rary is well worth an extra
effort to see the interesting
things from another land.
