The purpose of this course is to prevent traffic accidents and to reduce the deaths caused by teen- aae drivers. In order to meet such a challenge, the srhool has put into the curriculum this Course of Drivers 'I'rainina wherein students may learn the traffic laws, both local and state. They may also practice this knowledge in a dual-control training car qiven to the school by a local dealer. Pauli student is required to take one class of instruction per week and also two training periods sn the car, With the enthusiasm of the students and the interest of the community behind such a pro- qram, it is hoped that Driver's Traininq will certainly fulfill its purposes of making our stree's and hiqhways safer in the future. DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Our Distributive Edur-ation proqram is a set up to train students to be more efficient salespersons, rrianaaers, and businr-ss owners. The Course provides theory training in the rnorninq at school: and an opportunity to put that theory into practice by actual sellinq in a local store in the afternoon. One out of every eiqht employed people in the United States is enqcrtged in selling, and trained sales people are in great demand by merchants. Three courses provide the trainee with the necessary knowledge: Economics of Distribution, Iob Problems, and Merchandise Information. The school program is set up on a minimum basis ot a tive-day week and a thirty-six week year. The afternoon proqram consists of distributive occu- pational employment for fifteen hours weekly. The trainee thus earns tivo points toward qraduation, as well as a salary for his work. it hlosser Shafer Shatter Shankle Burdette Smith
