(Advanced Examination Credit Program) allows students to test out of and History, Health. The basic philosophy of this approach to testing is that students who have the acquired already knowledge of a subject should not be required to enroll in that class. Thus, for example, a person entering high school who has through his own reading or study gained the knowledge to be covered in a health course should not be required to sit through the class. This allows students additional opportunities to register for courses that they otherwise would not be able to fit into their schedules. The special ACEP tests used in this program have been developed in the Weber School District under the direction of Dr. Paul Fawson. Dr. Fawson has worked closely with members of the State Board of Education including Dr. Robert Leake, Health Specialist, Dr. Boone Cosgrove, Humanities, Specialist, and Dr. Don Clark, OUR SPECIAL LOW PRICE ETERSEN CHRYLER $3300 at an $3100 PRICE OTOR PLYMOUTH DATSUN 3130 WASHINGTON PHONE: nOAAPANY HONDA 621-807- 0 Mathematics records data for his science project to T.
