Practical Experience Insures Jobs Did you ever wish that you could leave school early each afternoon? The Distributive Education students don ' t have to wish. Their learning experience is not confined to the six-period-a-day schedule since the DE program combines classroom instruction with the experience of on-the-job training. Many employers are so satisfied with the work of their DE employee that a job is available for the student after his graduation. Leonard J. Rose, Sr. B.S.

J.S. Anderson B.S. Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Uni- versity of Virginia, Madison College; Electricity, Electronics, Mechanical Drawing, Architectural Drafting. A new electricity and electronics class has been added to the elective courses at Covington High School. This new addition is a basic course in the fundamentals of our world of electron- ics”, and it employs an approach to learning by experimentation and demonstration. It also of- fers valuable information in practical and tech- nical application for students, regardless of their goals. The course is a prerequisite to Electronics I, which is more technical in content; however, with the knowledge of basic electrical fundamen- tals obtained from such a course, students will be better prepared to enter the world of communi- cations based on electronics. Such areas as electrical measurements, instru- mental use, practical application, and laboratory experience in electricity, as well as job opportu- nities in the field of electronics, are covered. This new course is indeed a welcomed addition to the curriculum at CHS. Mechanical drawing, architectural drawing, and shop classes still thrive here at Covington High. During every period students can hear the familiar whir of saws and see the drawing students hard at work. Phillip 6. Douglas B.S. West Virginia University; Industrial Arts; J.V. Football; Baseball.
