A Ride to Advantages Thirty different courses gave juniors and seniors who attended Four County Junior Vocational School the opportunity to prepare for a career in the field of their choice. It also provided a change of pace from the usual academic school setting. The sixty-four students who attended Four County gained skills and on-the-job experience, but had some sacrifices. Being in the unique position of belonging to two high schools meant a greater responsibility in keeping track of important details such as ordering senior announcements. The schedule at Four County also meant that many of those attending had to forgo club and team memberships that they had enjoyed as freshmen and sophomores. Keeping in touch with friends not seen during the schoolday was tougher and, of course, the long bus ride had to be endured twice daily. These disadvantages were more than balanced by the advantages of a more varied school day, the chance to learn and earn simultaneously, membership in professional organizations and V1CA, plus meeting high school students from high schools in a five county area. Having met strict dress and attendance requirements, mastered the required skills and survived the forty-five minute bus ride Four County seniors graduated prepared to enter the job market or continue in college level training. 20 Four County
