Our poster exhibit transcription class which is held during the recess period Among the science classes offered Jayem students are chemistry and physics. Experiments are often made in classes that prove to benefit the students greatly. These subjects will particularly help those students who attend college after their high school graduation. For those students who wish to obtain some experi- ence at work there is the Diversified Occupational Train- ing course. These students attend school only three periods. They are taught many things that are con- cerned with salesmanship. After attending school these three periods in the morning, they take afternoon jobs so as to put into practice the training received at school and also to gain working experience that will prove bene- ficial to them later. Many boys take courses in mechanical drawing, ma- chine shop, and other such courses as are concerned with mechanical devices. Some of these classes are held at Jayem while others are taken at the Virginia Mechan- ics Institute. For the girls there are the ever useful and helpful classes in sewing and cooking.

Physical education There’s a good one Sight Conservation Class how to select and care for their clothes as well as how to make them. Sometimes these classes have fashion shows at which time they display the outfits they have made in class. In cooking classes the girls particularly enjoy serving the delicious foods that they have prepared. Often outside guests are invited to these gatherings. A new course was offered this year in commercial foods. The course takes the first three periods, and at lunch time the girls serve the foods they have prepared to the teachers in the newly opened tea room. Not only are the lunches delicious, but they are nutritious and inexpensive. While oper- ating this small tea room at school, the girls learn more about the management of a regular tea room. John Marshall also has classes in music, both vocal and instrumental. The school orchestra takes part in many activities as well as the vocal classes. Sometimes they present programs in the assembly.
