VOE was divided into two different categories. One was the VOE lab, sponsored by Mrs. Marsha I believe that VOC drafting is one of the two most im- portant electives offered here. - David McGee Murray and the other was the VOE co-op, sponsored by Mrs. LaDean Houck. In the VOE lab, students were trained to perform office duties such as typing, filing, and some computer operations. This part of the program was for juniors only. In the VOE co-op, students worked half a day and attended school the other half. These people received pay as well as credits for their performance. Only seniors could take part in this activity. A student had to take a typing test, fill out 98 VOE f VOC Drafting . an application and be interviewed by the teacher before they could get in these classes. Vocational drafting, taught and sponsored by David McGee, is the universal language of industry. It is the perfect example of a picture worth one thousand words. Without drafting, not even the simplest building could be built properly. The main purpose of VOC drafting was to help students understand industrial pro- cesses after they were out of school and working. Drafting tied together all industries into a general language. Roland Kuhleman, who also taught draf- ting, had been teaching for four years. Mr. Kuhleman spent half a day here and half a day at Richland. Drafting will help anybody in any job, but vocational drafting gives them that extra edge so that they know just a little bit more than others, Mr. Kuhleman said. Mr. Kuhleman had two Haltom students that worked at Tandy. Julie Wills, junior, adds up some figures on the adding machine in VOE.
