Sharon was a receptionist at Northwest Clinic. l With People in Programs t could have been a beauty salon, but there were too many girls, too much chatter. The atmosphere was just right, though, for the Cosme- tology room at Lanier, Many of the heads set up in front ot the mir- rors were just mannequinsq a tew were customers who liked the low prices. The girls shampooed, set, out and frosted hair. Paying customers and kids from the Austin State School also received manicures or scalp treatments. Senior Jamie Miner got interested back in eighth grade, when she had to do hair treatments with mannequins. She decided to work in a beauty shop fora year and then attend college, Joelle Cruz knew some beauticians and was just interested in cosmetology. After graduation, she will get her license to cut hair, then apply for jobs at beauty salons and work her way up from shampoo girl to head honcho Joelle mainly wanted to do facials and cut hair. The club was really a close knit group considering that girls all over the city attended Lanier for the program. The 23 girls were like a family and very close to Mrs. Wagner. They had to have good attendance and register with the Cosmetology Commission to carry out Mrs. Wagners hard, fast rules. The students hadto take biology and physical science classes. There was a future in Cosmetology for most ol the graduating girls. eeting people and learning to work with them, taking care ot responsibilities and problems that arose was a job within the job in VOE. To participate in VOE, students first learned typ- ing, bookkeeping and shorthand skills in addition to their required courses. Ben Crizzard, who worked at Statco as a keypunch operator, got a head start in the expanding computer job market. Sharon Mills combined book- keeping and receptionist work at the Northwest Clinic for five doctors. Sometimes it got pretty hectic, but usually I like it, she said. Terri Patter- son clerked at the State Board of Nursing Examiners and also helped out with the general office work. Students also took their talents to contest. Cheryl Wehmeyer, Donna Wil- dey, Diane Loftis and Janet McGuire placed at Area in Bound Bock and the whole VOE club went as voting delegates to State at Ft. Worth and National in Houston Four officers attended Youth Leadership Conference October 16, and on February 8, employers got together for the Employer-Employee Banquet. lt was a city-wide function and over BOO people attended. Other projects included socials and fund raising at which they made over S1000 by selling Christmas kits and candy. voe and cosmetology 1 15

Students attended school half a day and worked half a day, but they earned as many credits as a student with six classes, Henry Hubbard trained to be a keypunch operator at the State Health Department. DeVVayne Hyatt labored as an instaIler's helper at Austin Air, Kim Jackson salesclerked at Skil- lern's Drugs, and Kevin Peck printed inthe pressroom at the Austin Citizen. cvae, ict. auto mechanics tl?
