Vocational Courses at Burrell Offer pvniarmef-awww -a at ,.tWaMe..W,.:M. Q A special program at Burrell is Occupational Education, taugh by lVlr. Robert Devine. The primary aim of this course is to guide students in becoming contributing members in society. Aside from on-the-job training, students take important academic sub- jects needed for a comfortable and satisfying future. Because most of the Occupational Education students plan to obtain jobs upon leaving school, the area of study is concentrated toward thi' goal rather than toward a college preparatory type of program. ,J nd lVlr. Robert Devi ne Distributive Education is a tvvo-year course offered at Burrell for those students whose interests lie in the fields of business and retailing. Special training begins in grade eleven when students .. ... . , . take the Marketing 84 Sales course along with other required sub- jects. This introduces the prospective business employees with the V basic knowledge needed for the outside business world. When stu- . dents reach the twelfth grade, they are able to put their theoreti- hi, 5 cal knowledge to actual practice by working in area retailing stores for a half-day along with continued instruction of merchan- l dising and management principles in the class room. This program is called C.O.E. lCooperative Occupational Experiencel. lVlr. De- l Simone is the Distributive Education teacher at Burrell. l l W Nlr. George DeSimone l l l ' 30
