Prep Teachers Hit Grade Nail Well So you freshmen think you're getting poor grades compared to your high school grades. An article entitled "High School Teachers Know Their Business" by Barb Coon rad, assistant editor, in the Nebraska Education News, says freshmen suspicions are generally unfounded. According to Lee Chat field, director of Junior Di vision and Counseling Serv ice at the University of Ne braska, high school teach ers identify and rank their top students in such a way that it compares surprising ly well with their grades at the University. In the 1957-58 first semes ter freshman class, about 91 of the identifiable stu dents from the top quarter of their high school classes made satisfactory (4 or bet ter) grades in their college classes with the median falling around a high 5. This was normal compared to other freshmen classes, according to Dr. Floyd Hoo ver, registrar. Students from the lower quarter of their high school class, 76 of the students sampled were below a 4 (70 74) which is the minimum grade for graduation from the University. "This would seem to in dicate," said Dr. Hoover, "that high school instruc tors are just as conscien tious and honest in their : evaluations of their students as anyone could be" i "Past performance in high school is the best pre diction of how a student will do in college," Chatfield pointed out. A top high school student who does un satisfactory college work, however, should not be judged on academic preper ation, but on his personal ity, performance and atti tude. He added that high school rank and grade combi nation give the most accur ate grouping for the enter ing freshmen. This analysis points to some interesting possibili ties, according to Chatfield and Dr. Hoover. Chatfield said it seems possible that placement ex aminations are not giving very much additional infor mation on at least a part of the freshman class. The two men predicted that in the future, it may be possible to place college freshmen as early as their senior year in high school according to their class ranks and grades. This would cut down on the number of placement exam inations normally given to DESK SET Four ballpoints for the price of one . . 4 separate colors of ink . . . 49c with purchase of 10 gal. aotolina Other features: Cigarettes Regular 21e pack $2.10 carton King Siie 23c pack $2.30 carton Open 24 Hours Anti-Freeze $1.79 par gallon Above it not actual e holder w'H accommodate oil 4 pent.

Also, students in the up per fourth or upper third of their high school classes are universally regarded as reliable college material. The finding in this analysis, seem to verify this fact. Chatfield said that copies of this analysis have been given to University faculty advisers, college deans and other staff members so they will be able to counsel and place entering fresh men more accurately.
