Counseling: Study, Work. ane While working with students, counselors con- cerned themselves with educational, vocational, and social guidance. Several tests were administered to AHS stu- dents by the counseling office. These included the SAT for seniors, the PSAT and Senior Math Test for juniors, Lodge-Thorndike Intelligence Tests for sophomores, and three sub-tests given to freshmen to prepare them for their sophomore tests. In addition to these, juniors took the National Merit Tests. Offered again this year was the work- experience program for students who were pre- screened by the counselors.
