 (fto k QM iM Uc Under the supervision of Robert Ashlock, the freshmen began the study of understanding life in to- day's complex society. Many aspects of our environ- ment, mental health, education, social problems, and getting along with the opposite sex, were discus- sed. Besides teaching Orientation, Mr. Ashlock also counseled students on their future educational possi- bilities. Each student participated in special testing sessions during his Freshman and Senior years to de- termine educational development, the changes in his ideals, interests, and personality traits. Students of EHS are fortunate in having a full slate of tests to guide them in subject placement. At the end of the 8th grade, En- trance Tests, are administered. They aid in high school sectioning of students and give teachers a better understanding of each fresh- man. These are comprised of Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, Algebra Aptitude Test, and Mental Ability Test. Freshmen take the. Differential Aptitude Kuder Preference Rec- ord-Vocational, and the Guilford-Zimmer- man Temperament Survey. As sophomores, students participate in tests of Educational Ability. Juniors get a prevue of college abil- ity when they take the optional Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Robert Ashlock gives seniors an opportunity to take the three freshmen tests and the optional junior test, if they missed them earlier. During the senior year, most students also take the American College Test, which many colleges use for screening and sectioning classes. ROBERT ASHLOCK B.S. M.S. Orientation Counseling
