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.

MAIIHINE SHUP IS IMPORTANT Although the Galion Vocational De- partment has had a prominent part in the education of Galion students for twenty-one years, the course this year has reached a higher peak of achievement than heretofore. One of the important reasons for the shop's Success year is because of the National Defense Training. It started operation july 15. This project has caused the welding and machine shop to operate from 8 A. M. to 10 P. M. five days a week. This work has been accepted with enthusiasm by the boys. The fact that every senior boy is working, making his own way and paying his own gradua- tion expenses is quite an incentive to the juniors. The senior boys have been working on set projects plus work of a production nature. In their senior year the boys were taught seperate operations rather than the production of some object in- volving these operations, which doesn't permit subject practice work to enable the students to become familiar with the separate skills. The seniors in shop this year were eli- gible for co-op work. Twelve of the boys, Eugene Crim, Robert Gilmore, David Harrison, Edwin Henry, john Kahn, james Moneysmith, Delbert Ritzhaupt, Ernest Schwartz, Rufus Whiteamire, James Wisler and Richard Lake, were employed at the North Electric. joe Ro- sella and Marvin Windbigler were em- ployed at the Eagle Crusher and Dean Taylor at the Metallic Vault Company. Robert Wisler was employed at the school shop under the D. T. C. program. Many orders from industries involv- ing hundreds of pieces has permitted a production set up never before possible. This work received from industries is not production work in terms of a particular industry, but consists of jobs which would require the removal of men on produc- tion. The school shop has been able to help industry and by so doing has re- ceived a greater amount of practice ex- perience. The welding shop is conducted on a production basis. Cabinets, tables, tate boxes, benches and platforms have been the steady diet. The material for the fabrication of different parts is furnished by industry as is the welding rod. The shop curriculum has been changed so that beginning this last year boys enter shop in their junior year instead of sophomore year. This means two years shop training and a general high school diploma upon graduation. A thirteenth year's work consisting of a full time job in industry plus night school courses and mechanical training math, and industrial history. This entitles the students to a state vocational diploma. Shop boys can be proud of their ath- letic abilities, having nine Varsity Gish in football and two manager G's for football and basketball. Their basketball team placed second in the intramural league. Three of the shop boys also took part in the junior class play. During the four months, February to May inclusive, a night drawing class was sponsored. There were fifty graduates and other men who attended these ses- sions. Blue print reading and sketching were the subjects offered. This helps in bettering the jobs of those who took this course. This year one of the classes majored in sheet metal layout drawings. While doing this they made models from paper. The eleventh grade classes made very interesting studies of all of the different metals. Charts were made and studied by the classes. Mr. Charles Aplas is coordinator of the shop department, and the related subjects are taught by Piner Long and Earl Somners.
