IT'S SKILLS FOD LIFE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION Getting ready for the life that lies beyond high school was the concept vocational faculty members looked at when they stood before a classroom full of students. Their responsibility as a teacher was to educate individual students in a field they were interested in. They taught students skills they could use for the rest of their lives. Classes ranged from Business and Office. Health Occupations. Food and Lodging, and Co-op (Distributive Education), to Agricultural Studies, and Manual Dexterity skills such as Auto Body. Power Mechanics. Building Maintenance, and Industrial Maintenance.

Everything had its ups and downs Even dedicated teachers had their share of rewards and disappointments Some students recognized and appreciated their outgoing attitude towards teaching and others did not When students passed with flying colors and learned something from their studies teachers felt rewarded and they knew their teaching habits had every ingredient needed for a successful recipe Disappointments came when other students did not recognize their teacher's dedication and failed to put together habits of study which resulted in failing the class. Dedicated teachers made successful students which made a better reputation for Tucker County High School. Together teachers and students worked to raise the standards of TCHS. 8y raising the standards teachers were able to provide the students with a better education and the students could have a better way of life. Remember it's not iust a job . . it takes dedication. OOOOOH—Some classmates really got Mr. Hedrick with this surprise-in-a-box. MONKEYING around is Mr. Greynolds's favorite way to teach during spirit week.

The faculty provided the students with information about the changing world as well as teaching from the textbooks. They allowed each student time to get on hand experience in operating the different pieces of equipment related to their field. Besides the class- room studies and working papers, the faculty mem- bers helped individuals in career planning and deci- sions and how to maintain a job once they have obtained one At least once a year they set up a day when business persons came and interviewed the students Students were able to grow and learn in a manner that prepared them for what was coming later in their life. Even though no one could prepare or be pre- pared for the ups and downs of life beyond high school, the faculty members sure tried their best to introduce problems as well as rewards that came along with success. Vocational education has provided more than one with skills for life.
