D.E. Added to C.H.S. Curriculum; He who serves others without thought of com- pensation is often best repaid. ' ' This statement may be applied to the many Calumet students who offer their time and effort toward improving school life and to benefit classmates. These students perform various tasks such as selling candy in candy store, working in the cafeteria, and serving as chemistry lab, gym and office assistants. Early preparation for future careers in the field of distributive education is offered to junior and senior students beginning this year. The distributive education course is a combination of salesmanship and retailing. The object of D.E. is to thoroughly acquaint the student with the skills and knowledge of the business world which prospective employers may desire. Class activities include practice in sel- ling goods, making change, etc. These skills are then applied in the second year of D.E. when stu- dents actually work at jobs, located for them by the D.E. teacher. This should fit my customer s need! says D.E. student Julia Harris who works at Montgomery Wards. I believe a size 8 will just fit, remarks senior, Leroy York. - 22 -
