Vocational Classes Expansion At Cobre High School Mr. Mario Kirker Mr. Rex Dempsey Mrs. Mable Rogers Mrs. Marguerite Brie Many classes at Cobre are vocationally oriented, but not many classes are preparations for the job itself, stated Dr. David L. Walker, superintendent of Cobre Schools. Secretar- ial Science, one of the vocational classes, needs to be ex- tended. Dr. Walker said that more experience is needed with modern office machines and on-the-job practice. A course in data processing, an extension of Secretarial Science, would be a good vocation class; it is one plan of the school board. Dr. Walker feels that Vocational Agricul- ture is a good vocational class, but that more emphasis is needed in agriculture economics. In the future, he added, we plan for a more highly experienced course in Voca- tional Nursing which might include Operating Room Tech- nician. The Cobre School Board is the governing body for the school system and determines policies for the operation of the school program. The school board consists of five members: Mr. William Frazier, president; Mr. C. C. Bassett, vice-president; Mr. Sam Grijalva, secretary; Mr. Mace Parra and Mr. Ralph Saenz, members. The school board is elected directly by the people. They meet on a monthly basis in the superintendent ' s office to discuss any important school matters or suggestions.
