Dina Petroski, a sophomore in data processing, believes the early hands-on work most beneficial. She recalls studying the basics as well as the history of computers at the beginning of her three year program. The ten Hewlett-Parckard terminals were busy period after period as each student tried to get control of the output. Class work at the East Center, which most Exeter students attend for vo-tech, is supplemented by co- and extra-curricular activities designed to develop leadership, improve human relations, and promote success. Among clubs offered are Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) and Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA). Emphasis is placed on career objectives, respect for the dignity of work and high standards in trade ethics. As the student becomes more experienced he may participate in the Cooperative Program, a part-time work experience enterprise. Employers evaluate the progress of the individual and often hire the student after graduation. Ringing up a food order. Debbie Levan finds the total cost during her food preparation class.

Exeter has been fortunate in having the continuing dedication of many staff members. “I really love the kids,” says Harry E. Boyer; so he has stayed for 28 years. Mr. Boyer remembers the rural community Exeter was when he arrived but notes changes within students and science labs. He believes today’s students have more ability but less interest in using it. Feeling missing classes for extra-curricular activities make the school into a country club, he says, You are here in school to learn. That is its purpose. Another teacher of long standing is Anna C. Brown, who enjoys watching her students’ delight as they realize they can communicate efficiently in a foreign language. Frau began the German program 27 years ago and has been pleased to see many of her students continuing their college educations in Germany. Mrs. Brown remembers the first time a female student wore slacks to school, as she was sent home to change. The event was the talk of the town. Using a cathode ray tube.
