New Teachers Expand Home Ec, Shop New test equipment and a new teacher ex- 4 panded the shop facilities this year. Mr. Herrig | replaced Mr. Faas, who moved to the vocational education department. Students could take Auto Mechanics, Drafting, Electronics, Metal Shop, and Woodworking. With the growing number of girls in drafting, there was talk of opening a class for girls in auto mechanics. The fact that students could elect any home- making course any semester of their high school career allowed them to study their varied interests in depth. Mrs. Schepers, a new teacher, and Mrs. Reeves were the instructors.

125 Seniors Take Part In On-Job Training About 125 seniors elected vocational education classes this year. There were two categories: Co- op, which coordinated on-the-job training with related class instruction in the fields of office edu- cation, distributive education, and trade and in- dustrial training, and Work Experience, made up of nurses’ training and cadet teaching. Sixty-seven students enrolled in the full-year Co-op courses; about sixty took part in the one-semester Work Ex- perience. The purpose of all of these senior courses was to let students learn by doing. DE provided business training with special emphasis on selling and management. Skills in the secretarial fields were practiced by girls in OE while trade and industrial training was designed to give students a good foundation in a particular vocation. Nurses train- ing and cadet teaching were oriented more toward exposing students to the rewarding and taxing features of those occupations. Many of the seniors participating in vocational education belonged to related clubs. DE students were in DECA, the OE girls belonged to OEA, and the T l students were members of VICA. rr ree ee € X a a mg CHI ET re ۔ ہے‎ a ILI RE - ۱ , i ! ` ۱ l Donn Cross Copy and layout by Rob Wilson.
