WORK EXPERIE CE While most students were busy working on their homework, playing on a sport's team, or whatever they liked doing on their own time, some students were fortunate enough to find a job while stil being in school. Having a job provided an opportunity to earn money, learn responsibility, and build skills. Work Experience was a class that met once a week, and was offered to the working student. The class, instructed by lVlr. Ken Hagar, taught how to relate with other employees through lessons in self-confidence. Work habits like dress, grooming, punctuality, and dependability were stressed, The many things learned by the students were used in order to solve problems, and understand the job market. Benicia High students could be seen in and around Benicia at various business establishments, Service stations and fast food places were the most popular -,Q b ,ug- . W E Q w,kv 1 4 is f k,Qfi ?'A?
