Work+study=success. Attending both school and a job was all in a day’s work for some students at Henrico. The Industrial Cooperative Train- ing Program and Distributive Education Program made it possible for students in- terested in health, technical, and marketing related fields to gain on-the-job training while still attending school. These jobs covered a broad spec- trum and varied from factory trades to day care work.

Prob- lem solving not only familiariz- ed students with equipment, but also enabled them to think scientifically. After the fun was over, students were expected to summarize their lab pro- cedure and come up with a conclusion. The science department encouraged students to take science classes and challenged them 7 ¥ ; by offering such courses as ee bpd et pr II advanced placement a “at rectal Le aay chemistry and physics. = 4 : MS SCIENCE ATTRACTS Bookworms.
