The experience of taking tests was beneficial to everyone whether it was for vocational work or a col- lege education.

Students undecided into what field they might enter after graduation had the opportunity to take the Vocational Interest Test given by the em- ployment agency. For special qualified seniors the Talented Student Test was offered. To give underclassmen experience in taking tests, the Iowa Reading, I.Q., Kudar Preference, and S.T.S. tests were given.
