Seniors work hard on the Illinois Tests. ILLINOIS TESTING PROGRAM AN AID TO STUDENTS SPRING VALLEY, OCT. 29—The juniors spent the day in the study hall taking tests which are presented by the University of Illinois. The seniors took the same tests on October 26. The purpose of these tests is to determine the general ability of the students so that they thmselves and their parents are better able to make decisions as to future education. The tests of the non-language and language materials give the school an indication of the students' general academic ability for continuing their education. These records serve as a guide to those students who enter the University of Illinois and other colleges. Miss Edna M. Thompson and Miss Noralyn Baily assisted Mr. C. A. Sharpe in administering the tests. Juniors begin to work again after a period of rest. Page 15
