They also help Mr. Bridges with other audio visual chores. We would like to express a special thanks to Jerry Martin and Marge Kelley for helping keep our school clean. Student Life A new program has been started at East High. This program is called Dropout Prevention Job Placement. It is a program funded through the Job Training and Partnership Act to aid students in gaining employability skills as well as skills to complete their high school education. The major emphasis is being placed on (I) preventing stu dents from dropping out of school and (2) placing students in full time or part-time jobs. The students eligible to participate in the pro- gram are economically disadvantaged youth who are 14-21 years of age. The target groups of par- ticipants are high school seniors, juniors, sopho- mores, and freshmen (in that order) experiencing academic difficulty, financial problems, or other school adjustment problems that relate to ser- vices offered by the program. Some of the areas covered by the Dropout Pre- vention Job Placement Program are: Gaining Pre- Employment Skills; Job Search Assistance; Career | Sam Metcalf works with | Dr. Blanton and Clarence | Campbell in the Cooperat- ive Program.
