GQ?- srunts nov DURING NOVEMBER Iowa Tests of Educa- tional Development were given to all sophomores to evaluate their educational levels, their deficiencies, and their ap- titudes. Kuder Preference tests, which reveal the occupational interests of each student were offered to any interested seniors. Through the efforts of Miss Woundy and Mrs. Fred Phillipi, school librarian, one of the most complete vocational files in medium sized Arizona high schools was available in the library to any in- terested student. There was also a sup- plementary vocational file in the counsel- ing room. All students, but especially seniors, were urged to browse around these files which contain hundreds of pamphlets on various vocations. Illustrations suggesting different fields of work were drawn by a student art committee and exhibited on the bulletin boards in he study hall and in the coun- seling room. Using sample Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps tests and sample College Board examinations, students planning to take these competitive tests were given practice in test-taking.

I 1 Freshman Initiation HELPING STUDENTS to find their places in school, in life, and in the world of work, the B.H.S. guidance department under Miss Martha E. Woundy, Director of Guidance Services was more active than ever in 1956-57. First on the agenda was Freshman Orientation Day held in the fall to acquaint incoming freshmen with the high school. The fresh- men were taken on a tour of the building, attended a special assem- bly, and heard talks by various faculty members and student body officers. An Orientation Committee composed of leading seniors and headed by Judy Bennett worked with Miss Woundy to plan activities for this day and also for Freshman week. Among the several tests administered by the guidance depart- ment during the year were the Intelligence Tests which were given to 230 freshmen. Results of these tests are especially important as both the instructors and Miss Woundy often refer to them to ascertain what marks a student is capable of attaining. -14-

99 Barbara De Leon, Judy Bennett SELECTED ON their merits in leadership, scholarship, and citizenship, seven B.H.S. students were sent as representatives to Boys' and Girls' States at the Arizona Sate College at Flagstaff and at the Uni- versity of Arizona in Tucson, where they laerned by experience the way a democ- racy works. Final selections of delegates were made by committees of local spon- soring groups. According to their reports, B.H.S. rep- resentatives were unanimous in their re- action to the wonderful time they ex- perienced. Each student who was privileged to attend deeply appreciated the oppor- tunity. B.H.S. is proud to have been repre- sented by such outstanding and deserv- ing students.
