Ventures. . • HOW ARE WE DOING? Mrs. Booker, distributive education coordinator, holds a conference with Mr. Ashworth, employer, and Buddy Watson, employee. NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED” By venturing, the alert and enthusiastic stu- dents at Cary High gain knowledge of the skills and personal qualities needed for useful employment. Even as freshmen we preview careers by evaluating and investigating various types of occupations and the preparation that is necessary for them and match them with our own interests and abilities. Later we have op- portunities for achieving marketable skills for the business world and supervised work ex- perience. As we learn these skills and work on-the-job, we gain a new feeling of confi- dence and independence, a new, broader world opens with newf interests and new people and we find satisfaction through the self-expres- sion of work. MAY I HELP YOU. PLEASE Paul Tyson, distributive education student on the job, helps Christmas was a busy time for D.

Young atlases Physical Fitness and First Aid As we participate in clean-up programs, we become aware of the importance of each individual's part in the school and com- munity program of healthful living. We learn and practice the basic rules of first aid and safety. A healthy person is a happy person. Par- ticipation in the broad health-building ac- tivities at Cary High aids us in achieving good health and prepares us for responsibi- lity for family and community health. With this comes extra dividends of well-being, charm, mental alertness and the assurance of a future of physical enjoyment. SPLINTS AND SLINGS Freshmen Anita Bickctt, Jimmy Bullard. Lacy Black, and Ray Gam- mon practice first aid. 19
