Career Students Learn to Earn The world of work was one option for Lincoln students. Many chose COE, spending three hours at school in traditional classes and the rest of the day on the job. Budget cuts did not affect COE substantially, according to Mr. Samuel Cofield, COE instructor. New individual books and a larger classroom were additions to the program. “We have a very visible program,” said Mr. Cofield. “COE bridges the gap between school and community relations.” Lack of supplies and equipment hampered the business department program, said Mrs. Osceola Thomas, business department chairperson. But Mrs. Thomas said that the business courses were still able to provide students with a marketable skill that would help them to become employable. “Students have a positive attitude toward learning,” she said. “Some will each go on to succeed in a business related skill.” A third option for career-minded students was the Technical Education Center where students spent two and a half hours each day learning data processing, data entry, commercial art, welding, auto body, child care, dry cleaning, and commercial sewing. Students who successfully completed the course received certificates which certified their readiness for employment in their field.
