V Vocational Education South Boston and C. H. Friend High School are justly proud of the fact that last year our high -school was the only school in the state which experimented with a class in Diversified Vocations. The experi- ment has been so highly successful that several other high schools in the state have installed a similar course this year. The class is open only to juniors and seniors. Students in this course also have to take the usual required subjects such as English, mathematics, and certain courses in history and government, along with their vocational work. Credit is given toward graduation and is accepted in college for those who wish to continue preparation for their chosen life Work. They attend class one hour each day, where they take notes on lectures, read books, and discuss problems which are concerned with their particular Vocation. Each student is required to work two hours a day down town on his chosen vocation, thus acquiring experience which helps him decide upon his life work. The merchants and other business men of the town have shown a wonderful spirit of cooperation by taking students into their various businesses and helping them in every way possible to learn to work efficiently. This year we have several girls and boys working in the various de- partment stores. One boy is working at the printing shopg two girls work in beauty shopsg and several other girls are learning the funda- mentals of nursing in the two hospitals. We have boys working at the theatres, and others in various garages. Several boys have been parti- cularly successful in the field of radio. There were twenty-eight students in the Diversified Vocations class last year. Of this number twelve were seniors, all of whom were fortu- nate enough to continue with their work after graduation, except for the students who went to college.
