Jack Wolper has some misgivings: he wonders whether school tickets ore worth the price. l6 -Q. At Roosevelt one-half of all enrolled students take some form of course that prepares directly for a vocationg one-fifth of the total area of the school is devoted to the clickety-clack of typewriters and oftice machinesg many girls practice using their skills by aiding teachers with clerical work, hundreds of boys spend informal hours behind a drawing board in mechanical drawing. These students know that what they are taking is important and very useful. The courses offer immediate practical use. To one it may mean economic independenceg to another it may be the opportunity to finance a college educationg to the third it may mean something as simple as being able to buy that mouton coat so long desired. The toilsome hours now may be difficult and trying, but when a car, or a good-paying iob, or a college degree rewards the student's labors, then these courses will be truly appreciated.
