I S-N Students Prepare For ork- orld t George Stone The courses at George Stone help prepare a student for employment after graduation from high school. states Mrs. Rose Patterson, advisor. Nineteen programs are offered to the students. This year there are I2l students attending George Stone. The courses are three hours long and are equal to three high school credits. Some of the programs offered are: clerical, secretarial, data processing, drafting, auto mechanics. cooking and baking. and licensed practical nursing. Students are involved in various activities, such as the Career House which is built through the participation of each department. When the house has been completed, it is sold and the profits are returned to the school. In this way much on-the-job training is experienced. Many students gain more job training by working their senior year than by attending classes at George Stone. The only stipulation is that their job must be related to their course of study. explains Mrs. Patterson. More than just career training is learned at George Stone. George Stone is a school that can help you develop opportunities for yourself, comments Tina Whiddon, senior.

Some PE Classes Become Coed This School Year Newly introduced this year in the Physical Education Department is the co-educational program. Participants may now choose their own activities. All students in these classes are taught the fundamentals together. I think the program is a good idea. expresses Coach James Patterson. You see guys helping girls and girls helping guys and not a whole lot of showing off. I think it is very beneficial. Whenever possible in the contact sports. girls compete against girls and boys against boys. Two teachers supervise the co-educational swimming course. This year's coed PE is a first. However, in '78 these classes will be mandatory by federal law. In the coed classes, each six weeks you have new classmates and a new teacher. states Wanda Gibson, junior. l think it's a great way to meet new people. PE provides the student with an opportunity to learn cooperation. Appreciation of skills and talents is also involved. The main purpose for taking physical education is to maintain physical fitness, comments Miss Peggy McCune. depart- ment head. By doing this, students develop skills for lifetime sports. ,.., Q -Q-Q4 Roger Hudson exhibits his talents on the tennis courts during PE class.
