Supplements Classwork JOB TRAINING: giving the student an actual experience and JOB PLACE- MENT : placement in a particular job that will help train the student plus pay him for his work. Vocational teachers interview students on OJT approximately once a month to evaluate them, and to see if they enjoy the job. Also employers are contacted to check on the students' job performance. Everything is done on a personal ba- sis. Mr Dave Palmer, who is in charge of OJT, believes the pro- gram is a practical benefit to pre- pare students for educated career choices in later life.

Her Goal: The 1984 Olympics An Olympian at Alta? A big goal? Yes. but Cheryl Howlett plans to be in the 1984 Olympics. And at the rate she is going, she'll be there. Cheryl is an outstanding long dis- tance runner. Last year Cheryl was rated as the top 4-A woman runner in Utah. She has been to the Olym- pic Training Camp during the sum- mer of 79 held in Colorado, where she worked out and learned new warmups and stretching techniques with other girls from all over the Unit- ed States. Cheryl started running when she was a sophomore at Brighton High School. Actually she was not in- volved in running, when a friend asked her to come out and try it just once. Cheryl, after a while talked herself in to giving it a try, and placed second to her friend in the. 880 yard run. That season she went on to place second in the 880 and fourth in the two-mile run during state competition. Her discipline and natural talent for the sport have kept her running ever since. While Cheryl was a junior at Alta she broke the state record in the 880. placed first in the mile, and sec- ond in the two-mile. She has helped the track team greatly with her tal- ent and dedication by pushing her- self towards her goals. Cheryl's workout schedule con- sisted of an average of five miles in the morning and between eight and ten miles at night. With. the dedication she has to running, and her eager desire to excel, most like- ly you will see Cheryl competing against the best in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. UPDATE: Cheryl took first place of all women runners in the 1979 State Girls Cross- Country competition. . .......................■ , . •■■■ John Munson Shaun Murdock Todd Murdock Natalie Nelson Steve Nelson Tracy Nelson Todd Murphy Golden Murray kip Nelson Charlotte Newrfian Craig Nielsen Wayne Nielsen S»nlors 153
