The SCROC and Work Experience which were offered to MHS students during the 1971-72 school year provided a great oppor- tunity for students to receive school credit while doing a paid job or learning a valuable skill. SCROC fSouthern California Regional Occupational Centery was a great chance for over 100 students to pursue study in areas not covered in a normal high school program, MHS students were enrolled in a wide variety of subjects, ranging from auto repair to secre- tarial training. Not only was this service free to students, but bus service was supplied from MHS to the center, which is located in Tor- rance. Work Experience provided a chance for students to hold a part or full-time paying or non-paying job, take a shortened day, and work during school hours for school credit. From MHS there were over 40 students working in paying jobs, and approximately 20 students enrolled in non-paying, educational- type jobs. These jobs ranged from box-boys to teachers assistants, and from cashiers to serv- ing lunch duty at nearby elementary schools. Clubs and Activities
