EUUPEHATIVE SEIIHETAHIAL TRAINING The primary aim of Cooperative Secre- tarial Training is to lay a foundation for commercial work as a vocation. Not more commercial students, but better trained commercial students is the objective. To help accomplish this, practical experience is given along with theoretical training. Students are trained to meet the em- ployment standards for employees as they exist in Galion. It should be possible for the graduate, as a result of the train- ing received, to secure a satisfactory po- sition and advance in that position. By actually putting the student into the office, it allows him to become better ad- justed to the complexities of office rou- tine as it actually exists in industry. This plan also bridges the gap between the school and work. The student is working, but he can still bring his prob- lems to the teacher. It allows for an ad- justment period, rather than a sudden change from a school-world to a work- world. Since all education is concerned with the training of worthwhile citizens, this important function is not left out of the Cooperative Commercial program. Permission must be had from the parents or guardian of the student before that student is permitted the opportuni- ty of taking this training. This cooperative plan as set up in Gal- iori, consists of alternating a week in business with a week in school. Students are assigned to an office in pairs. While one student is receiving practical instruc- tion on the job, the other student is study- ing related subjects in school. School training consists of the follow- ing: Shorthand II, Typing II, Commer- cial Law, Applied Business English, Ap- plied Business Arithmetic, and Office Orientation.

outside talent is brought to our city for the students. Along the line of assemblies the school has had an extraordinary privilege this year in having access to several 'iMarch of Timel' movies. Where is that music from? Oh, yes, its the organ. I wish I could play it.', Probably Marguerite Dorian, Evelyn Adams or Jean Huy practicing. Did I hear you say, If that is practicing, lid like to hear them really playin Social Activities Reviewing some of the most important social events of the year, we find that the G. R. Wiener roast came first. This was successfully held at Heise Park on Sep- tember 23. On October first, the Hi-Y had their wiener roast, to which occasion the boys invited girls. The Girl Reserve Faculty Banquet also occurred in October. This banquet is given annually in the Senior High gym by the G. R. for the members of the faculty and their families to get students and faculty better acquainted. At the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y Joint Meet- ing on February third, Rev. David Mumford, of Bucyrus, led an interesting discussion on Boy-Girl Relationships after which a dance was held in the gym. Quill and Scroll members on February 24, presented the impressive candle-light service, which is an annual occasion. Fif- teen juniors were initiated at this time. The First Reformed Church formed the background for the G. R. Sweetheart Party on March eighth. The Church be- ing appropriately decorated, the mem- bers and their guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. An unusual Ides of March Dancew was given on March 14 by the Lantern Staff. Another novelty dance also spon- sored by the Lantern was the Sadie Hawkins Dancen which was held on April third. These were acclaimed great successes by all who attended them. For the first time in the history of our school, forty junior and senior high school students were excused from class- es for an excursion to Cleveland to at- tend the afternoon opera on April 18. For most of the students, this was a new experience in two ways because they went in a Greyhound bus. Jane Wagner, a sophomore, Misses Ricker, Mann and Slocum made arrangements for this trip. Rev. David Mumford was the speak- er at the Hi-Y Sweetheart Party at the Peace Lutheran Parish House on May third. Without this event the school year would seem incomplete to many of the students. An impressive occasion, especially to the seniors, occurred on the night of May 12, when the members of the G. R. bid farewell to the Seniors. Each Cabinet member presented a symbol of her office to the junior girl that succeeded her for next year. The highlight of the year for the sophomores was held on May 24. The event, of course, being the Sophomore Hop at which time the gym was decor- ated with flowers and crepe paper to rep- resent a spring garden. Using A South Sea Islandl' as a theme for the Reception, the Juniors en- tertained the Seniors to a banquet and dance on May 29. From this brief review of the year's activities, you can readily see that there is a lot more to school than study.
