Two Worlds For the more than two hundred students who needed to earn money, learn a marketable skill, and get credit at the same time, the Vocational programs were the place to be. Four such training credit programs existed at Reagan. Vocational Office Education had on the job training in clerical, bookkeeping, and other office skills. The students were kept busy taking care of business. For students who liked jobs ranging from taking care of kids to taking food orders, the place to be was in Home Economic Cooperative Education. Salesmanship was the key emphasis of the Distributive Education classes. Whether acting as a cashier in a grocery store or selling hosiery in a department store, the students had to always be alert and receptive to the customer. They were learning while earning. Developing a trade skill was the emphasis of the Industrial Cooperative Training classes. Students trained in a printing shop, garage, or other related jobs. They were learning a trade for the future. (1) Mrs. Fronces Allen, HECE coordinator, admires the D£ scrapbook to be submitted to regional contest.

Credit was given for dissecting a pig in Miss Dorothy Flury's Physiology class as well as planting and beautifying the campus in Mr. Frank McDonald's Horticulture classes. It was learning.
