These counselors not only helped students with their high school schedules, but also helped them in choosing colleges or careers. Kudar Preference Tests, which showed Groveton students the fields of their interests, were available upon request and scholarship and college entrance examinations were of¬ fered. Four days in October were devoted to the State SCAT and STEP testing program; the results of which were given in February to students and parents. The Iowa Reading Test was given in the spring. Well-informed representatives from numer¬ ous colleges were speakers on College Day, November 3. Members of the junior class served as guides for the speakers, parents, and students.

People of many different professions informed the students of the vari¬ ous job opportunities. Later in March, a Mili¬ tary Information Day was held to inform the boys of their military obligations.
