Judith Weinberg to Wed Early Deadline for Itelay 27 Issue
Morton Levin of Ohio
Because of Memorial Day — May 30 — and Shavuot —
May 25 and 26 — there will be an earlier deadline for all
copy for our issue of May 27.
All copy must be in our hands before noon on Friday,
May 20, for the following week's issue.
Holder of BA and MA degrees
from the University of Michigan as
well as the LLB and JD from the
Detroit College of Law, Miss Robin-
son began as a social studies teach-
er at Miller Junior High School.
Upon promotion to . department
head at Condon Junior High, she
decided to remain in the field of
education and dropped her tenta-
tive plan to practice law. Interest
in guidance prompted further
study, and she was appointed coun-
selor at Munger Junior Righ and
later at Chadsey High School.
In 1929, while Frances Perkins
was Secretary of Labor in the
state of New York, Miss Robinson
took a. year's leave of absence
to accept an appointment to organ-
ize the first junior job placement
office of the state, serving 8,000
school drop-outs in Brooklyn.
Upon her return to Detroit,
while serving as president of the
Detroit Guidance Association in
1940, she initiated the organiza-
tion's first counselors' workshop
with Dr. John R. Emens as direc-
tor.
Her past 20 years have been
in administration, as assistant
principal of Durfee Junior High in
1945, assistant principal of Central
High in 1950, principal of Central
High in 1952, and presently prin-
cipal of Henry Ford High School.
During her administration at Cen-
tral, its centennial was celebrated
in 1958, marking 100 years of
secondary education in Michigan.
The observance of this event
brought together alumni, civic
leaders and former faculty from
many states, some guests dating
back to the early years of the
century when Central was the only
high school in Detroit.
In 1959 Miss Robinson became
principal of Henry Ford High
School, moving from the oldest
high school in the city to the
newest, not yet completed. With
the opening of the new addition
in 1962, department centers were
established. Continuing her long
interest in guidance, she organ-
ized a comprehensive counseling
plan with emphasis on group
guidance involving the total
faculty. The monograph "How and
Why Guidance" published in 1965
describes this plan, its purpose
and its operation.
In 1961, at the invitation of
Supt. Samuel M. Brownell, Miss
Robinson set uo the school-wide
plan for the annual observance of
Law Day in joint sponsorship with
the Detroit Bar Association.
Included among developments
during her years at Ford are the
honors and scholarship programs.
Miss Robinson is a member of
the Detroit Education Association,
National Education Association,
National Vocational Guidance
Association, Women Lawyers As-
sociation and the University of
Michigan Alumnae. Working with
community organizations, she has
served on the board of Directors
of the Shapero School of Nursing
of Sinai Hospital, Jewish Commu-
nity Center and Jewish Family
and Children's Service.
