lcavc al Center was designed to provide hands-on training for high school students. The students worked with ake County Area Vocation- the machines and equip- ment they would be using in future ca- reers. lt's an arm of each high school in Lake County,', said Mrs. Jane Falls, vocational coordinator for MHS. Courses offered ranged from auto me- chanics and body to child care to data processing. Students enrolled in building trades built a house. Those in food service catered parties and dinners. Students in- terested in farming learned what to do in horticulture. lt's a wonderful chance to develop skills and get a head start in life,', Falls added.

peer group LE R and haring ideas and learning more about one s peers is a basic description of peer group. The program helped students by giving them the opportunity to fmd out that others felt the same as they did. They played sharing games, which helped each student to realize that they are their own person. Upperclassmen who got involved as freshmen were selected by their peers and by the faculty to become peer group lead- ers. To become a leader students must have completed a 40-hour workshop, held in the summer. Besides running peer groups, leaders had a continental break- fast for transfer students in the beginning of the year. Mrs. Kathy Carr, peer group adviser said, The groups were great. They got so much done and the kids really liked it. Each person was so special. I know these groups helped to bring out some of their special qualities and I hope they know how important they aref, WE!
