Students Work for Physicians Mew name, new style! Medical Office Technicans, previously Medical Clerks, is a ROP (Regional Occupation Program) course in which students learn clerical work in medical offices, clinics and hospitals. Mrs. Barbara Munson RN, started the program three years ago. For the first time adults were accepted into the program. Students and adults learn well from each other. MOT works in the classroom learning terminology, forms, and ethics. How- ever, in the last three weeks learning is acquired on-the-job. MOT is now a semester course.

Job Training Offered Thinking of going into the health field? This could be answered by enrolling in the Health Careers Class. The main function of this class is to explore different areas in the health field. Field trips, as well as outside speakers, help students to find their health career goal. With on-the-job observation for three weeks, (two days on each area of choice), students are encouraged to observe many different medical fields until they find one which interests them as a possibility for future employment. The Health Careers class is a semester of concentrated study. By means of this class, both guys and girls at Madison have an excellent opportunity to explore the field of health in a practical way. 178 Health Careers

The Munch Line 1 J ust this once. Please? I've got to have a Snickers bar before my math test! This is a plea that is often heard, but always ignored by the Hawk Shop staff after they close up for the day. In spite of this, they sold about 13,000 Snickers bars this year. The Hawk Shop was able to expand sales in '75-76 by adding six positions to the staff and an additional cash register. A variety of new items were added to the inventory, one of which was blue and gray tube socks. These, as well as other non-food items, did not sell as well as expected. Students were just too busy buying Snickers bars, smoked almonds and licorice. 1 Janice Busby works behind the count- er on a busy day. 2 Trying to serve everyone during the lunch rush is cashier Donna Deusch. 3 The Hawk Shop staff: FIRST ROW: Janice Busby, Connie Vignere, Rhonda Boatwright, Gregg Taylor; SECOND ROW: Linda Sweeney, Pat Sowadski, Rocky Cornelius, Donna Deusch, Bob Brewer, Nancy Parks. Mr. Gaffney; THIRD ROW: Michael Whatley, David Peason. 4 With a larger staff things ran more smoothly in the Hawk Shop this year. 180 Hawk Shop
