Mr. Ray’s Message to the Senior Classes The High School is today facing a problem that is extremely difficult to solve. The popularity of higher education has caused great numbers to seek admission to the colleges. Some of the colleges are selective. They admit only High School graduates from the first quartile of the class. Other colleges are more generous and make it possible for any graduate to enter. Many of these students are not college timber. They eventually fail the work and are sent home. The High School gets the blame for their failure. Many parents who have never found out the mental caliber of their children, come out against the public school and claim their sons or daughters are poorly prepared, when as a matter of fact they do not possess ability enough to do work in college. The students who are succeeding are students of ability. Their Terman score is high and their record cards show that they have not been idle in High School, while the ones who are failing do not, as a rule, have all of these qualifications. Seniors, check up on yourselves. Maybe you should not go to college,—it may mean a waste of time and money. One expert told you this year that to take up a profession you should have a Terman score of not less than 128. Ask yourself these questions and find out the answers. 1. Do I stand in the first quartile of the class? 2. Is my Terman Score well over the one hundred mark? 3. Is my High School record a good one? It may save your Alma Mater the blame for your failure in a field where you have little chance to succeed.
