hrebardlion is essential io effective citizenship. Cascade meets this need in three impor- tant areas; agriculture, home economics, and commercial. There are also courses in shop, driver training, and some students have opportunities to operate motion picture projectors in connection with the school's extensive visual aids program. An important first step toward vocational success is an occupa- tional choice in a field of greatest individual aptitude. To help students make this important decision, they are encouraged to investigate and experiment in different areas. During the senior year each student goes through a comprehen- sive aptitude testing program given by the State Employment Office. Experienced vocational counselors interpret the results of these tests for the student. In helping students toward their vocational choice, vocational courses always take into account the total growth of the student, which includes such things as (1) health, (2) command of the fun- damental processes, (3) worthy home membership, (4) citizen- ship, (5) worthy use of leisure time, and (6) ethical character. 15
