College prep curriculum offers wide choices About 45 per cent of the graduat- ing seniors will go on to some form of higher education. For these stu- dents a full program of college preparatory subjects is offered. The wide variety of electives in English and social studies give the student a background in literature, composition, history, political sci- ence, psychology, and sociology. Students may also elect three years each of science and math and up to three years of French, Latin, or Spanish. Those who desire to take a com- bination of vocational and college prep courses may do so through careful planning of their schedules. Two librarians and a library clerk are available to help students find materials for special projects and research. A continuing goal of the librarians has been the addition of new volumes of reference materials as well as records and filmstrips. 24 ACADEMICS

Skill courses provide career training Vocational and business courses are structured to prepare students to go directly into a job upon gradu- ation. Almost half the student body is enrolled in the 16 three-hour courses. The remaining three hours of the day are spent in classes chosen from any of the academic or related subjects. Related math and science, indus- trial safety, and mechanical and related drawing complete the voca- tional curriculum. Because of the great demand for graduates in these courses, many third-year students receive on-the- job training by co-oping in area firms. The 16 courses offered are air conditioning and refrigeration, auto mechanics, commercial art, com- mercial foods, commercial photo- graphy, cosmetology, drafting, elec- tricity, and electronics. Also machine shop, printing, radio, radio and TV broadcasting, sheet metal, television repair, and woodwork. Well qualified instruc- tors have all had experience in the fieldwhich they teach. Business courses include typing, shorthand, two years of bookkeep- ing, and a three-hour vocational office education class. This class pro- vides training in all types of office machines and procedures as well as a second year of typing and short- hand. 26 ACADEMICS fi W pm. ,. ,,,. .
