Co-Op Janice Bailey works at P.N. Hirsch. “ ... I like the money too.” O Academics Co-Op is a good program offered to our juniors and seniors here at DCHS. A student enrolled in the co-op program only goes to school the first half of the day. Among the classes taken in the morning, they must take the co-op class. This class prepares them for working by making sure they know the basic skills for things related to having a job. In the 1981-82 school year there were about 20 students in our co-op program. They worked at such jobs as a construction worker, a teacher for deaf children, a cashier at a department store, a bagger at a grocery store, and a mechanic at a bowling alley. Co-op allows students to be exposed to “the working world” and it helps them make extra money. That extra money always comes in handy? Scott Levin, roofing a house, does his co-op job. Ron McClenahan is employed at Car-o-matic car wash in Dupo. Laura Evans works at K-Mart in Belleville. “1 like the people 1 meet.” Beth Doerr works teaching deaf children in Belleville. “I like the kids.”
