THE NOROSCOPE l94? SENIOR GUIDANCE ORTHERN sengors faced a stiff testing pro- gram during the last sernester, l2A in order to help therr. evaluate thernselves in choosing the right occupation for their life work. The tests were part of a newly adopted War Service Guidance Prograrn for seniors and was con- ducted by the school in cooperation with the Rackham Foundation This program, in a series of senior confer- ences, was aimed at placing the individual in the right job for war effort as well as in the fob for which the individual is best fitted. Occupational information was given the stu- dents through a study of industrial and occupa' tional opportunities in which the students bef came acquainted with the requirements and training pay and promotion opportunities for employment and the relation of the occupation to the war effort After the student had made a choice of occu pation which was of interest to him tests were given and the results were interpreted in indi vidual conferences between the students and a qualif ed interpreter The interpretations were based on the test results and on the student s previous school work His scholastic average personal traits and all school records were a very vital part in the interpretation Seventeen lv orthern High school teachers took concentrated instruction tests in administering the War Service Guidance program They do nated all the trrne reauired to interpret the test ing program and counsel the individual stu dents in the program The tests were of three types One was given to test ability to recognize special relationships which help in assembling and sorting smaller parts another tested the ability to manipulate larger obiects requiring muscular control and the third a peg board test for smaller obiects checked on inger control finger guidance and ski All students filled out a War Survey Chart which asked various questions about the stu dent and his interests Teacner comments and answers to questions about the students physi cal self will be used with applications to help the student obtain a tob Special Help-O s, r I t f-sen guidcr e on ic 4 V' 113 in coope ation with tlse rt ckhfrr' Fo ndation o tic te cr s and ad s rr e o O SVI 'T ents s p O 'JCiH'1'J D 11 L on a Mss L M s Ms M c Miss v tn, s pe e 1 JF- Cl Lowes A land 'sr a s scc t B o d M Tobe t e on the oox n o gt' 0 na S H Low G e , o 1' a a S a e or 'J sVVae e esoc anaW o o sn e ak e s s 4 'tr' ae L25 1 . 1 - J r , . l , L, , A V , g , . . , - 1 I. . .
