Work, school hand-in-hand For any job, there is Working and going to school for some students is not fun, but for the students who enrolled in coop classes, it became a necessity. Although the students did not have a job when they signed up for the class, assistance in obtaining one had been provided by the class instructors. Students in my Industrial Cooperative classes are placed in a job field in which they learn a trade or skilled labor, Mr. Charles Connelly, ICT instructor, said. In ICT there are over 100 occupations which range from meat cutters, carpenters, bricklayers, to electricians. The classes lasted one hour. After the students take their coop class, they went to their other classes. When their school schedule was completed, they went to work, Students in Cooperative Vocational Ad- justment Education, taught by Mr. James Morton and Mr. Ronald Pipes, could work in job trades or skills or work in food or public services. The job positions are unlimited. The problem with keeping a student in a job has been that of students' attitude and the economy. Our community has many jobs which our students can work, Mr. Morton stated. Students through films are introduced to job skills and behavior during an interview also different types of jobs are shown to the students, Mr. Pipes commented. Vocational Office Education students went to contest in February at the Tarrant County Junior College. For national VOE week, the C1 vocational program to match students went roller skating and had a teacher appreciation day. VOE also had a Valentine party for the Haltom Senior Citizens. Teresa Dyess, senior, said, VOE has helped me learn about the business world and gain responsibility. Home Economics Cooperative Education provided breakfast for the faculty and table decorations. They also visited nursing homes on Valentine's Day, and had their area meeting at Skyline High School in March. Vocational Health Occupation Education gave students an opportunity to learn about nursing, radiology and basic anatomy of the human body. According to Linda Hollowell, senior, UVHOE helped me to mold my future in the nursing field. I've learned what it takes to be a nurse and now l'm ready to be one. The community is interested in the students and would like to help their fields of study. Mrs. Lillian Porter, instructor of VHOE, helps by contacting the doctors, especially the new ones that have moved into the area for job openings. If hired, the students will usually remain at the job throughout college. VHOE members went to Fort Worth Childrens Hospital and presented a puppet show. They also visited the Bishop Davies Nursing Center. These services gave students the oppor- tunity to work with all kinds of people and enlighten their lives, said Mrs. Porter.l COOP tw' . ill 2 'wqwhbf I To gain work experience, Michelle Gray, senior VOE student. kept records at Glen- view Family Practice.
