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.

Most students, however, do not realize that academics involves not only learning from books and homework but also learning by doing. Learning by doing is an important part of the curriculum of the Arch Moore Career Center. In December, there was a big controversy over whether or not the state would keep the career centers open or combine it with the high school’s curriculum. Several meetings were set up around the state to see what the public thought about this idea. The public’s support of the career centers was astounding. Letters were wrote to the Senate and the House in West Virginia. This support attributed to the dropping of the idea, so maybe this put an end to the question Closing?” PLANNING for her yearbook layout, Sonya Brown figures out the number of pages she will need for the index.
