Work Experience The Retailing Work Experience program is a unique system which enables students from Retailing I and II classes to gain valuable on- the-job experience by working part-time in local retailing establish- ments. These students are first taught selling techniques in class, and are then given part-time employment in local stores. These jobs en- able the future businessmen and women to come in contact with the internal operations of the business world. Aside from gaining valu- able experience, a student participating in this program may obtain one school credit by working a total of 450 hours. The student re- ceives the same wages as any other part-time employee. In this way, the student earns while he learns. This program offers the students an opportunity to explore career possibilities, supplement their school training, and, most important, come in contact with the world in which they live and work. .asa I 19 The Work Experience Students

There are sixteen possible combinations for business courses available to everyone at Medina High School. For example, the most common combination is sec- retarial, retailing, and bookkeeping. Another possible combination of courses might be oflice practice, Typ- ing I, and Introduction to Business. For the student who is unable to schedule enough periods per week or has not had sullicient background in a particular Don't look at your hands! course, it is possible to audit a course without receiving a mark or credit. In this way, the student is able to gain some background which would not normally be available to him. These business courses are also part of the education of those students involved in the Work Experience Program. The four main objectives of the business courses are personal neatness, neatness of work, accuracy, and punctuality.

Art The Art Department reiiected the skill and hard work of all its students this year. Mr. Pack- ard, our new art teacher, replaced Mr. Williams, who retired at the end of the first semester. Under the supervision of Mr. Williams, the art students added beautiful plaques to our Student Room. These murals certainly were a pleasant and bright addition. With reluctance we parted with Mr. Williams whose artistic talents have reiiected on us for many years. We happily welcomed Mr. Packard to our faculty in January. .Ss 'X 499 B Gi rl Nb , 34' ff ff y rs I I Cant I just take a picture. ' Can I help it, I have a stiff neck. Raymond Packard, H.
