Drafting has become a popular course for those GHS students who are interested in pursuing further study in some field of design. Explaining to his students one of the finer points of type-set- ting is Mr. Eugene Roberts whose class in printing supplies many of the needs of GHS. Vocational Courses Apply Theories Designed to give students intensive training in trades and specialized skills, GHS offers a varied program of vocational courses. The courses are designed to offer practical application as well as theory in such areas as electronics, printing, engines, and drafting. Those students who are interested in the business field are able, through the cooperation of local merchants and craftsmen, to work with various stores and industries in the area. Other students receive a specialized •background that will prepare them for advanced study.

In learning the technical problems involved in internal combustion engines, Mr. Gainey’s students work directly with the engines themselves. Enjoying the facilities of the new electronics lab, Mr. Wallace’s students learn to prac- tically apply the theories from their electronics course, though Nick Bryant, (above right) admits that it’s a bit complicated. During the entire school year, students in Diversified Education Classes spend no less than fifteen hours per week on their jobs under adult supervision. The DE student attends regular classes, too, which enable him to graduate with the re- quired units while he prepares for a future job. Experience and Theory Train Students in T.
