Students prepare for life in Voc. ed Vocational and industrial arts classes at CNHS are designed to train students plan- ning on entering the work force or a voca- tional management career after high school. Norths vocational classes (including the in- dustrial arts courses) annually involve over 50 percent of the student enrollment at one time or another during the three years of se- nior high school activity. In fact, the depart- ment is known as the Industrial Education department, headed by chairman John Hen- derson. Obviously, however, there is a dis- tinct difference between the two sections of classes in the department. Industrial arts are aimed more at the student who mav choose to make some form of a mechanical skill a vocation or avocation, while the vocational classes are set up for those students who al- ready have made up their minds to be in- volved in those tvpes of skills the rest of their lives. Seventeen faculty members, almost a third of the entire teaching staff, are in- cluded in the department which offers courses in at least 10 different vocational fields. Included among the course offerings are automotive and diesel mechanics, wood- working, machine shop, printing, welding, agriculture, health occupations, drafting and blue print reading, and electronics. Of course, that listing is not nearlv com- prehensive, nor does it include the satellite classes which also are offered. All industrial arts classes meet for one hour, while the vocational students meet in their chosen areas for three hours each dav. Also tied to the vocational section of the school are at least four different cooperative programs which permit students to attend school half-dav and then work in the com- munitv the other half while earning a wage and high school credits, not to mention the invaluable work experience. Co-op pro- grams currently include health occupations, pre-vocational work. Industrial Cooperative Training and heating and air conditioning.

Skiing tried in physical ed classes itii the opening of two new skiing areas in nearby Nashville. Ind.. Columbus physi- cal education classes from both North and East high schools were given an opportunity to engage in that new sport. Long Moun- tain Ski Resort hosted the students, and Nashville Alps, the other ski facility, in- dicated it might entertain the classes next vear. The addition of skiing increased the availabUitv of instruction in PE courses to include such individual sports as golf, ra- quetball. tennis, ice skating, bowling, roller skating, and a large number of team sports. Well over 300 students again enrolled in driver education, but a damper was put on prospects for those classes in the future. En- rollment fees were to increase to $35 per student effective with the start of summer school 1980. Continuation of the teaching approach was noted with instruction in- cluding sections of classroom studv and test- r- ing, work in driving simulators, and in-car hours of driving and observation. State-required health education drew its usual large enrollment, with the majority ot the students being sophomores. A number of seniors who had put off taking the course also enrolled. Areas of study ranged from personal hygiene to the human body and its function to emotional understanding and problems encountered from birth to old age.
