The tenth graders of ASHS will be taking
a competency test through the days of
February 17, 18, and 19. This also applies
to any new students from out of state who
have not taken the test. The test is com
posed of three sections: Reading, Math
and Writing. It is necessary for students to
pass all three sections in order to graduate
with a diploma, except for this year’s
senior class, which was not required tc
take the writing section.
The untimed test will begin in the morn
ing on Tuesday the 17th. Students will be
tested by their homeroom teachers in 50-
minute intervals with breaks in between.
The testing schedule will be given to the
teachers.
Mrs. Smith says that it is becoming
more complicated to administer the test
because new sections have been added
She also reports that the students may
take longer on the math section than the
others.
Ms. Fast helps a sophomore prepare
for the competency test.
The Countdown Has Begun
By BETH NEEL
February is the month to think about
candy and sweethearts, but it’s also the
time to start thinking about the prom.
This year’s prom will be on Saturday
May 2. Mrs. Burleson and the junior class
officers have decided to let a disc jockey
provide the music again this year. Also
Bob Bogle Photography will be taking the
prom pictures.
Three months may seem like a long
time, but the big event will be here before
we know it. You may want to start scouting
out a date for that magical night.
