Vocational Students Use the New Three Cycle Vocation Program Due to the emphasis on a practical education enrollment in the vocational shops greatly increased. As a result the administration found it necessary to add a third cycle to the present two. Cycle C students began their school day with the fourth period, attended classes until the seventh, and then attended their respective shops for a three period class. Students enrolled in automotive studies were given more practical experience bv working on fellow students’ cars. Electrical shop students were taught the basics in electricity and electronics along with fundamentals of test meters, wiring, repairs, and the use of various hand tools. Working in a well-equipped machine shop, students had the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge enabling many of them to obtain jobs prior to graduation. FOREMAN L. Kastriba. M. Ruga, and M.
