These include equipping pupils, re- gardless of future occupation, with business skills and knowledge useful in personal business and con- sumer activities, as well as promptness in preparing personal and business reports. In all business education courses at Converse High School these objectives were stressed, with the hope that they would carry over into future business and personal situations. Another course designed to help pupils in the future is vocational guidance. Vocational guidance, which was given to the sophomore boys, attempted to equip them better to make the choice of a iob, which ranks along with choosing a wife as one of the two most important decisions a man will make. The sophomore boys studied the different families of vocations, the characteristics of a good employee, what an employer wants from an employee, and the correct way to go about getting a iob. PLANNlNG MY FU- TURE appears to be an appropriate title for the guidance textbook. Mr. Ford shows Jim Bow- man, Eddie Hardin, and John Howard the various fields of work.
