policemen . Guns may blast people from their homes, batter thriving business to dust, and devastate the historical shrines of England and Greece, but there is still order as well as law in the United States. For the first time a course in Police Training is ottered here. Students now go to college to learn how to maintain this order, ln August l28 students signed up tor the course, now at the end of the first year there are l6 lett. Although it is known as a tough course scholostically, the rigid physical examina- tion is the test that many tail to pass, Subnormal eyes, ears, teeth, and the same old story about flat feet keep the potential cops out ot unitorm. There are only three other schools in the state where a course ot this nature is taught-in San Francisco, San Jose, and Los Angeles, The classes are varied and comprehensive. Ballistics, communication, gunnery, criminal investigation, handwrit- ing, typewriting, and related studies in sociology and psychology are some of the things taken under this program ot Police Training, I While the whole class works part time at the State Personnel Office, a few of its members have been placed where they are no longer under the eagle eye ot instru- tar Willard E. Schmidt. Three students are now doing fingerprinting for the State Personnel Department, two more have prospective jobs as custodians-the new name for guards-at the new state penitentiary at Chino, and Brooks Baker, the student in the rear seat of the car below, is in the Army as a military policeman. lvlr, Schmidt is demonstrating the use of a car as a means ot cover in apprehencling another car, and William O'Neal has just opened the door ot the car in order to get a better sight on the bull's-eye,

. . . office workers Every week-day hundreds of young men and women sit down at desks at nine in the morning and leave at five in the evening. State buildings, office buildings, private businesses are full of people who keep books, take letters, and give orders, Some of them have special training, secured from night schools, business schools, junior col- leges, and universities, Junior college courses in four broad fields of business are Secretarial, Accounting, General Business, and Merchandising. The courses have been selected and designed to fulfill the needs of students who are securing jobs for the first time and to equip them for promotional opportunities. All courses in the four business maiors are purely vocational, and only those students who meet the standard set by established business custom and practice are recommended for this type of work. Shown in the upper picture is Peggy Jenkins working at a comptometer, This picture was taken before the end of the first semester, for Peggy is now working for the Telephone Company as a comptometer operator. Besides lvliss Jenkins, nine others from this class may in the very near future be operating a comptometer for a boss in- stead of a teacher. Beverly l-lood, in fore- ground, and Grace Serra, in background, are working a Burroughs calculator. Careers, to many, now mean a life in some form of business. Even though there are careers in other types of work, business offers perhaps the greatest opportunities for most people. -'P stlbm af 2 'T
