Looking Toward the Future by Karen Johnson Three courses are available upon entering high school: college preparatory, general, and commer¬ cial. Guidance counselors. Miss Veva McAtee and Mr. Arnold Corder, help students plan for the re¬ quirements of the elected course, thus enabling them to develop their talents and pursue the vocation of their choice. Extracurricular activities also help prepare stu¬ dents for their vocations. Chief among these is cadet teaching, a popular preparation for those planning to enter the field of education. Girls desiring to enter secretarial work often become personal secretaries for coaches, and aspiring nurses devote free periods as assistants to Mrs. Florence Miller in the nurse’s office. Future journalists may join the publication staffs to gain experience. Five to ten percent of all Clarkites take part-time jobs. Working in drugstores, department and dime stores, service stations, medical offices, and grocery stores, they prepare themselves for the future by gaining insight into possible vocations. Guidance counselor Miss Veva McAtee confers with Senior Arlene Matis, giving her helpful information on college requirements and possible future vocations. Earning extra money and acquiring valuable experience, Tom Goldhagen serves as general handyman after school and on weekends at Rushton’s Wespark Pharmacy. Teaching the A B C’s is Jean Makis, Clark student. During her study period, Jean teaches fourth grade as a part of the cadet teaching program offered through F.T.A. 5
