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?
