SCHOOL GUIDANCE Representatives from the Army, Air Corps, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy discussed military service obligations and opportunities. Dr. A. L. Walker, director of the Business Education Service for Virginia, spoke on office work ingeneral in the state. PROGRAM A VITAL FACTOR For the third consecutive year,Crewe High participated in the state testing program.Ninth and eleventh grade stu¬ dent s, as well as all new students in other classes who had not taken the tests last year, were subjected to three and one-half days of testing. The program was stepped up so as not to interfere with so many day ' s work as in other years. These tests--two known as SCAT (School and College Abil¬ ity Test) and five known as STEP (Sequential Test of Ed¬ ucational Progress) were administered in September. Tests were again scored in Iowa City, Iowa, and test results re¬ turned to the school for study and use. These scores are available for guidance use by both teachers and parents, forming a part of the permanent record of each student. On October 11, Crewe High School, through its guidance department, assisted by the Student Co-Operative Associ¬ ation, was host to juniors from Prince Edward Academy, Randolph-Henry, Cumberland, Blackstone, Amelia, Vic¬ toria, and Kenbridge High Schools. Representatives from sixty colleges, industries, and the services met with these students.Three conference periods were available for each student with individual interviews made possible by ap¬ pointment. All of Crewe High School ' s facilities were used, as well as several classrooms in nearby Pryor Memorial Presbyte¬ rian Church. The purpose of these meetings is to acquaint the students with what colleges, industries, and businesses expect of high school graduates, and to get the students who expect to attend college to start making contacts early in their junior year so that they will be able to make appli¬ cation for enrollment early. Mr. E. R. Sheffield and Mrs. Gloria Weishaar of the Bank of Crewe staff talked with students concerning bank employment. Mary Newcomb, Mr. Clark, and Carolyn Emerson talk with Chowan College representative. 10
