Only direct quotes can be given without seeming to boast. ' The Camden County Vocational School is doing definitely superior work in meeting so satisfactorily the vocational needs of the boys and girls, especially the boys, of Camden County . . The visiting committee was especially impressed by the competency of the administrative staff and the teaching staff. All seemed to be carrying on their respective duties in a highly efhcient manner. There was an especially fine attitude of cooperation between pupils and teachers. In November of 1938, George Scheers, Archi- tectural Drafting instructor, was appointed the first Apprentice Coordinator and Placement Officer. William l-l. Stewart was employed as instructor to replace Mr. Scheers and continued in that position until the course was closed in June 1942, due to lack of applicants. The National Defense Training Program was organized in july 1940, to train workers for indus- tries engaged in making war materials, Edward H. Bohn, Science Instructor, was appointed Supervisor of War Production Training, Theodore L. Nitka was employed to fill the vacancy in the Science Department. The War Production program operated for almost five years and trained 21,055 workers for the industries of the Camden area. The Federal Government bore the entire cost, almost 35-47,000. The classes operated on three eight-hour shifts, around the clock. Two-hundred-three instructors were employed. The results obtained in the War Training classes reflect great credit upon Mr. Bohn and his instructors. Ji fy pf fd. .QW A a QI 3 E , wit? A
