Distributive education- DIVERSIFIED OCCUPATIONS Distributive Education refers to vocational education for those engaged in distributing goods and services to the public including all retail, wholesale, and service occupations. It is an example of co- operative training requiring the joint interest and efforts of the schools, the distributive businesses, and the community. All three benefit thereby -- the school by providing training that is needed -- the employer by obtaining more efficient personnel -- the community by receiving better service as con- sumers. The Diversified Occupations program is a co-operative part-time education program which involves a co-operative agreement between business and industrial enterprises of the community, and high school. It is open to juniors and seniors, 16 years of age, who have earned at least 8 credits. The pupil learns actual experiences on the job in the trade or occupation of his choice, and the school facilities are used to furnish technical subject material related to the job being learned.

HOME ECONOMICS Homemaking education prepares individuals for effective home living now and in the future. It aids them in solving personal and family living problems of importance to them. At the senior high school level homemaking education attempts to provide guidance and an oppor- tunity to grow in social poise, managerial ability, and competence in the skills of homemaking. Two -, three-, and four-year homemaking courses are offered in grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. These courses provide educational experiences in all areas of homemaking on the basis of the needs of young people and fam- ilies. Joan Lake gives a demonstration on fruit pre- peration in Mrs. Rose’s Home Economics I class.

There are unlimited possiblities for the interested and capable student. The Business Education Department affords all students the opportunity of training for office work beginning on the tenth-grade level with Typing I and General Business. After being subjected to this one skill course and one general course, a student decides whether or not he wants to continue in business education. If so, in the eleventh grade he may choose between two courses -- stenographic and clerk - typist. On the twelfth-grade level one year of typewriting is offered for academic and general students who desire the basic knowledge and skill.
