_respondents' records).

The first follow-up survey was conduCted-CoNfall-winter 1973-74 ointlyby RTI and theCensus Bureau. The young adults'first surveyed in 472, plusadditional 1972 graduates from 25S schools in the base-year sample that hadbeen unable to respond,.were surveyed toestablish wheie they were in the-fall of 1972 and 1973, and what they were doing and planning with regard td-

'( ' work, education 'and training, and personal development. Two questionnaire's

were used: Form A was the basic 85-question version .for the 18,000 base-year-iespondents, and Form B included 14 additioda1'retrospective base -year qu&stionsfoi the nearly 5,000,1972 seniors added to the study.404chool and stude4,record information; using base-year forms, was also-coUrted from these'latterrespondents.
