One of the great services the community does for the school is the vocational guidance day sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. Representatives from various vocations come to the school to talk about their chosen vocations. All students attend the meeting which deals with the vocations they intend to follow. It has been the custom to invite several neighboring schools to attend. Those who participated last year were Spiceland, Kennard, Carthage, Charlottesville, and Knightstown. In the picture is the vocational guidance committee and represen tatives from the senior class planning this year's guidance day.
