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.

They included the wide use of visual aids, tapes and movies. Also for the first time in the high school’s history, fourth-year French and Spanish classes were held. Future plans include fifth-year classes in approximately four years. Under the direction of a new Latin teacher, Mrs. Lybeck, students learned the traditional grammar. When the Spirit went to press, French students had tentative plans to go to France during spring vacation. Fourth-year French students also went to Dubuque to see the play “Antigone.” Fourth-year Spanish students presented a three- act play. The game Prost was a frequent vocabu- lary-improving activity cf German students. Entertaining folk music is presented to language students by the German Band. 30—Language Keith Wessel Dejected and forlorn, the airplane pilot and the passengers await their fate in the Spanish play.
