I . V Mrs, Hatfield and Mrs. Richards smile dail at future goals Whether it is a cosmetologist, CPA, or secretary there is a Vocational course that can help any student pursue nearly any career he or she wishes. Believe it or not there are some students who just want to be the best homemaker possible. Zina Napoli explained, Homemaking gives you the opportunity to learn how to plan out and cook well-balanced meals and you can learn how to sew and many other things to help one keep the best house possible. Some students work hard in cosmetology to become a hairstylist, makeup artist or skin specialist. Tammy DAvid explained, We work on patrons' hair to cut, perm, and colorg and we do manicures, pedicures, and facials. Other students focus more on careers in the business department. VOE is one such course where students learn to operate dif- ferent office machines, some bookkeeping and how to run their own business or office. Barbie Jones felt, VOE prepares us for future secretarial or office related jobs. Elizabeth Halliburton added, You learn in- formation concerning the business world and experience in useful items such as machine transcription, filing, and calculator. Once these students have taken VOE in their Junior year they are able to get a job through VOE in the business field. In the mor- ning they take courses for graduation and complete their Office Education instruction. Business Management is one course that enables a student to learn how to run or manage either their own business or any business. Typing and Shorthand are two Vocational courses that no student should be without when going into the business world, Carrie VanHorn said, Typing is a useful course that not only prepares a person for a secretarial job, but also a person interested in going to college. Shorthand is a good course to take because the course teaches some students how to become organized, explained Theresa Mendoza. Office Procedures is a course where you learn how to be flexible in an office and learn different techniques such as working a desk calculator, dictaphone, filing, and typing, said Pattrina Pastron. Record Keeping is a course designed to teach students how to balance a checkbook, do your income taxes, and how to fill forms out for businesses. Cheryl Masters said, lt will help me to know how to keep personal and business records and keep me more organized. For students interested in becoming a Cer- tified Public Accountant QCPAJ, Accounting is the perfect Vocational course to take. Phyllis Schlabak explained, lt teaches you how to keep books for a company. You also do practice sets to where you get a feeling of what you would do as an accountant. 170 Y their office education students. -:f .xg 'in Q, S - at -3 is .. x Q- ay' W .. . si si il.: ,. . . , ... .,.. .,.,...Mw,-sa-..f, A Tracy Frochich frantically tries to erase her mistake.
