The 1965-66 school year saw a continu- ance of the Office and Distributive Co-op programs, Having been well established in their initial year, last year, and receiving sound support from the community, the second year's experience with these pro- grams showed new interests on the part of local business and industry people and in- creased opportunity for students in these departments to secure on -the -job training. A larger number of students were placed on jobs than previously, and new work stations were opened. Mr. Ehresman, co-ordinator of Office Co-op, and Mr. Coultes, co-or- dinator of Distributive Co-op, were able to extend the programs to assure future continuance . Added to on -the -job training, opened this year wasanew program, under the direction of Mr. Wilson, called Diversified Co-op. Inthisprogram, students training for main- tenance and repair jobs were placed on work stations in the school system. Their ex- perience this year will lead to similar oc- cupational placements next year in business and industry in the community. The increased enrollment in these pro- grams is evidence of growth of the Alpena School System. Shown on these pages are pictures of stu- dents on the job, in some cases with their employers.

INTENSIVE TRAINING Growth was evident in the curriculum of Alpena High School when for the first time in the 1965-66 year four Vocational Education programs were in- augurated. Fields of Welding, Engines, Machine Shop, and Electronics were opened to approximately 80 juniors, who received instruction and practical experience ina three-hour block of time. Experience showed that this type of intensive training provided students with greater skills and a greater body of information in trade areas. With a second year in similar training forthcoming, it is the expectation that young men will leave their positions in these programs much better prepared to take their place in entry jobs in industry and business. A further addition to education at Alpena High School this year was the creation of a special Pre- Technical program. Twenty-one boys were enrolled in classes of Pre -Tech English, Pre -Tech Science, Pre -Tech Math, and Pre -Tech Laboratory. The in- structors of these classes had been selected to re- ceive special training in these areas during the summer of 1965, and were charged with the re- sponsibility of synchronizing their units of study so as to provide lcarnings which related among the four segments of the program. Instructors chosen were Mr. Beland, Mr. Stenberg, Mr. Roeske, and Mr. Taylor. This also is a two -year program, and is expected to continue during the 1966-67 year. S-N4 XX You did that all yourself?
