Modern Educational Requirements Ui Members of the Co-op class meet with their co-ordinator each day for an analysis of their on-the-job training. In keeping with our aim at education for the modern day, our school curriculum has expanded to include driver training as a required subject. Another addition has been the Co-op program. This program gives the student the opportunity to attend classes one-half the day, and to get on- the-job training the other, with credit for this work. Along with an expanded school comes the need for a larger staff of workers. Our janitors and bus drivers fill the major part of this need, but the students also help. Some work in the ollice and in the library as assistants, while others learn to run the movie projectors and other visual edu- cation equipment. .IANITORS Ford Bowman Howard Rouse BUS DRIVERS Kneeling: Paul Burkholder.
