Abstract

What actually becomes of the high school graduate after his graduation? For those who go to college, what are some of the factors that influence their persistence in higher education? What value in a material way do they obtain by further education? These are some of the motives that have caused the writer to make a study of the graduates of Science Hill High School, Johnson City, Tennessee, over a period of five years from 1927 to 1931 inclusive. Stated in a more definite way, the purpose of this study is to survey the activities of the graduate of Science Hill High School through a period of years, following their graduation with special attention given to some of the conditions affecting their persistence in school.
