On Nlarch 4, 1975, Amity High School held a Career Education Night. The main purpose of the night was to acquaint the parents and community members with the career program at the high school. The night started out with a performance by the drill team and swing choir at 7:00 p.m. The people then were allowed to walk around and look at the various exhibits. Students or teachers were available at each exhibit to explain what the career required in qualifi- cations and schooling. They also' answered any questions about career education at Amity High. Every class, 1-12, had some kind of exhibit set up of what they have been doing throughout the school year. For example, the deep-fried squid made by the 5th and 6th graders, the smoking dummy by the health class, and the drama class practicing their play. Child and Babysitting was provided in the Home Ec room by the Child Care Class for those parents who wished to use this service. - At 9:00 people started going home and everyone who participated felt very satisfied because the turnout was so great. Over 500 people came to make Career Educa- tion Night a big success. Career Education Night l . 'I 1 li5l71l8 T3 'img -las T TT tai' fi' 'SW w ,g.. Cf, , E
