TJocaiionaf Mrs. Helen Johnson Secretary The roar of gines, the hum the en- of ma- chines. This, and more, is Vocational. Designed for students planning to enter a trade directly after graduation, the school has grown under the direction of Mr. Joseph Keefe. Students alternate one week in shop and one week in class, specializing either in automotive shop, elec- tronics, or machines. Future mechanics dissect live cars, literally get- ting inside the subject. Electronic shop covers the commercial devices, like television sets, and more complex computer and sonar mechanisms. Machinists learn the tools and methods of working materials for useful ends, as well as how to control a temper (metallic). In short, Vocational has the most grinding curriculum at South.

Here students learn the techniques of building, pho- tography, magnetism, com- munications, and electricity, later to be used in their work or hobbies. Computer programming and solid state electronics are grow- ing fields the department explores: calculations at in- credible speed and devices streamlined of vacuum tubes.

Stressing a well-balanced program, the South High School Physical Education De- partment is interested in the development of both team competition and individual contributions by students dur- ing class periods. Although difficulty is occa- sionally experienced in keep- ing shut the doors separating the boys ' and girls ' gym classes, the physical fitness program presents successfully a variety of activities, includ- ing touch football, basket- ball, volleyball, soccer (and crab soccer) gymnastics and archery. Conclusion: gym is a fit course for every curriculum. I, 2, 3, 4, ... 5? Mr. Woodcomb Stop the world! I want to get off! 30
