Many JV students receive on-the-job training in offices right in their own com- munity. They are typing, keeping books, filing, answering the telephone, doing administrative and secretarial work. VOE is a two-year program beginning with the pre-Employment Laboratory at the iunior level tor two hours each day. Students must have completed a typing course before enrolling in Pre-Employ ment Lab, and some student will have also have taken recordkeeping, account- ing or shorthand. ln VOE, students do exercises to improve these basic skills. Students also receive individual and group instruction on calculators, meth- ods of tiling correspondence, proper tele- phone techniques, and use of transcrip- tion machines. Today there is an ever rising call from parents for schools to teach abilities that can be easily adapted for use in the com- munity. Here at J.V. the Career Course Department fills that valid.

Creative Dance, GoldDusters, Health, and P.E. make up the Phys- ical Education curriculum this year. In Creative Dance, one hundred students learned to do just that. Starting the year, they learned basic movements and exercises moving onto jazz, folk, square and other forms of dance. In GoldD- usters were 54 beautiful girls who received many well deserving standing ovations as they per- formed for the students at pep ral- lies and for the public at football games. Health is required for all students during their sophomore year. They studied many subject areas including communications, personal hygiene, first aid, alcohol, tobacco, and drug abuse. The best thing about Health is that it is only a two quarter course. Driver's Ed fills the other quarter gap, a class which this year pre- pared a couple of hundred students to be declared legal drivers as their 16th birthday arrived. Actually Driv- er's Ed is divided into three parts. First is the bookwork and the all important test. If a student gets by this crucial test, the student is awarded with a driver's permit. Secondly, sophomores take a simu- lation course and finally, they put their driving knowledge into prac- tice. With three giggling classmates in the back seat and an instructor whom they soon realize is not quite as mean as they had previously heard. l9O - Faculty and Academics ERS EDUC TI LTH DRI HE PH SIC LEDUC Tl Albert Perez shows interesting form as he takes a shot during F'.E.
