By Harry Ward Jr.
Guidance Counselor
The first results of this years
State Testing Program have been
received in the Guidance Office,
states Harry Ward, Counselor.
These results are for the Fresh-
man Class: the tests were given
in October 1961.
The Cooper Freshman Class
average score ranked at the
89'Vile as compared with other
schools across the nation. This
means that Cooper’s Freshman
Class had an average score that
ranked 11th out of each 100
schools in the natl°": 1°r’
class made a score higher than
89 of every 100 school averages
for freshmen.
The test given was the Iowa
Tests of Educational Develop-
ment which is a battery of run*
objective tests designed to pro-
vide a comprehensive and de-
pendable description of the gen-
eral educational development of
the high school pupil.
The individual tests in the

7. Ability to Interpret Liter-

8. General Vocabulary.
9. Use of Sources of Informa-
tion.
The heart of the battery con-
sists of Tests 3-8, and particul-
arly of Tests 5 through 7. Tests
5, 6, and 7 measure the ability
to interpret reading materials
in the social studies, the natural
sciences, and literature. While
constructed in the external
form of a reading comprehension
test, these three tests are de-
signed to measure much more
than generalized reading skills.
Essentially, they are intended to
measure the pupil’s ability to
do critical’ thinking in the broad
areas designated. They are con-
cerned not so much with what
the pupil has learned, in the
icnse of specific information,
but rather with how well he
can use whatever he has learn-
ed in acquiring, interpreting and
cralizalions to new situations or
ng new ideas to old, and in ap-
ply ng broad concepts and gen-
eraliations to new situations or
to the solution of problems.
Parents and students will be
welcome in the Counselor's Of-
fice at the High School to check
test result? A more formal in-
vitation will be tendered after
the Xmas Holidays, when there
will be more time available.
A secret panel of judges has
declared Mrs. W. I. Bartley as
winner for the second week
Christmas contest featured in
the Review. Mrs. Bartley may
pick up her $25.00 prize money
at the Review Office. Mrs. Bart-
ley wrote that she likes to trade
in Cooper because: “The sale-
people are friendly and court-
eous, the prices are right, we
have free parking and my
money spent here helps my
town and county.”

The First Baptist Church of
Pecan Gap entered the 1962
Texas Baptist Church Achieve-
ment Program, pastor Perry
Crowell said this week.
Sponsored by the Baptist Gen-
eral' Convention of Texas, the
program is designed to stimu-
late interest in small-Church
work by providing growth in-
centives. Outstanding achieve-
nent by pastors and churches in
areas of church, community, and
world improvement are recogn-
ized locally and at the annual
Texas Baptist convention.
More than 660 Texas Baptist
own and country churches en-
tered the program last year.
Seme of the churches recorded
twice os many baptisms per
member as the Southern Bap-
tist Convention average. Others
recorded outstanding increases
in SunCay School attendance
and gifts to missions.
Goals for advancement are"
adopted by each participating
church for tho three improve-
ment ereas. An inventory ques-
tionnaire furnishes suggestions
for projects, such as haoMl ad-
programs, citizenship training,
race relations studies and world
missions.
Pastors recognized in each of
the denomination’s 17 geograph-
ical districts receive parchment
scrolls and the churches receive
achievement cgrificates which
may be displayed in a prominent
position.
Churches in the open country
and in towns of up to 2,500 pop-
ulation, all Latin American
rhurches and missions, and city
churches with less than 300
members, are eligable to enter
the program. About two-thirds
of the denomination’s 3,876
churches are classified as town
and country congergations.
Records and scrapbooks of
program progress are made un
der the direction of three special
committees. The scrapbooks are
the basis for judging on the as-
sociational, district and state-
wide levels.
