 r COLLEGE BOUPID TEST KOOUJLEGE Scholastic Aptitude Tests, or SAT's as they are lovingly known, are sweated over and studied for by almost every Senior who plans to attend college. Administered by the College Entrance Examination Board, they are required by nearly every college east of the Mississippi. Many Seniors felt that though they are difficult, SAT's are the only effective substitute for grade-point averages and class ranks. “There should be something else to judge you on besides grades because high school doesn't mean anything anyway, was the frank opinion of one Senior. SAT's, no matter how despised, were of utmost importance to at least 60% of all Marshall Seniors. Preparation for College Boards is rarely a good indication of results. Often, students who took special vocabulary and comprehension courses scored lower than those who did not take special measures before hand. According to the Guidance Department, “The best preparation is a good night's sleep,' and this seemed to be the best insurance of a good performance. SAT's were an important facet of Senior life. Scores were awaited, hidden, forgotten and lamented. They were the most important one-shot deal a Senior had to go through with, and often proved to be a most accurate summation of a student's worth. As one Senior stated, “I did not like getting up at 8:00 on a Saturday. Deborah L. Evans Softball. Dianna Farmer Butch Farrell — Football 1,2.3.4; Bowling Club.

From the results of a survey sampling Senior opinions came the figure of 42%: 1 • 42% of the Senior class was going to college because they could think of nothing better to do and college seemed the natural step after high school. 2. 42% of the college-bound Seniors were undecided as to what they wanted from college. 3. 42% of the upperclassmen considered their last year at Marshall worthless because it was not helping them decide anything.
