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.
