career classes . . . Students at Sacramento Junior College will move forward in four different direc- tions this year. Some will transfer to universities and other four-year colleges, others will go directly to work in various vocational and business fields for which they have been especially trained at Sacramento Junior College, a few may rest on their laurels and get married, and some will become draftees of Uncle Sam. No matter which way he goes, each student is assured that he has been prepared to a greater or lesser extent in his chosen field. To educate the John Jaysees and Barbara Arches, three different kinds of courses have been instituted: Vocational-Terminal, Transfer, and General-Terminal, The Vocational-Terminal curriculum is made up of such courses as mining, aeronautics, police training, business, cosmetology, and photography. The Transfer course consists of general academic or pre-professional courses pre- scribed by the universities or colleges to which the students are going to transfer, The General-Terminal is designed for those students who have not decided what vocation, if any, they wish to take up, and for those who want a general cultural background. Under this course come arts, music, crafts, and general courses. There is much overlapping in these three main streams, since the object of college is to provide a liberal education as well as vocational and professional training.

miners . The Army and Navy are not the only industries, it they may be called industries, to stand with open arms waiting for students to graduate from colleges and univer- sities. Mining is the second largest and one ot the most open fields in industry today. Alter graduation many students are able to go directly to work in the mines of western states, Those who graduate from universities may choose from a wide variety ot mining tields: mine supervision, assaying, smelting, milling, petroleum. lt you clidn't know there were tive hundred mineral specimens in the world, just ask one at those thirty mining majors who had to learn four hundred titty at them by sight and the blow-pipe method. That's no snap. Another one ot the rock-pounder's little chores is to work in a mine during summer vacation itor practical experiencei.
