IN-K ik? i ,-3, , a Many of our students wi Il' be interested to know that there ls a branch of our voca- tional school atthe U. S. Naval Air Station. At this naval establishment, there are over three hundred apprentices, many of whom are also high school personnel taking credit toward their diplomas. The San Diego Vocational School maintains six full-time instructors at the 'island' to provide the same type of classes that are available on our own campus. A unique schedule is followed which allows the apprentices to work ln their respec- tive shops for three weeks and then attend school classes for a full UC-hour week. This 'three and one' plan provides an interesting variety to the course and at the same time allows the full number of hours ln school that are required for high school graduation. The operation of this high school program within the Naval Air Station has come about through a joint agreement between the Commanding Officer and the station and the Superintendent of the San Diego City Schools. Both the navy training section and the city schocls' administration share joint responsibility for maintaining a high standard of instruction and facilities for these classes. The excellent scholarship record attained by this group ls partly explained by the careful selection of apprentices by the Navy Clvll Service and partly to tte high degree of cooperation and interest shown by all parties concerned--U. S. Navy, San Diego City Schools and the apprentices themselves.
