Chapter 4 focuses on the survey of SSCC students to learn about backgrounds, considerations in selecting a school, reactions to SSCC programs and services, and future plans. Chapter 5 describes the survey of 1979 high school seniors to learn about backgrounds, interests, and future plans. Chapter 6 discusses the study of 1977 graduates to learn of activities since leaving high school, present activities, future plans, and needs and desires for additional educational-cultural services and activities.
