the Bank and ' There were approximately 200 students from Moore High School who attended Moore-Norman Vo- Tech. Some are preparing to go to work immediately after their gradua- tion and others, wanting to be able to earn money at a good job while going on to college, often working toward a degree in an area related to their vocational program. High school students at Moore- Norman Vo-Tech School spent three hours per school day in their voca- tional clubs. There are four student organizations at Moore-Norman. VICA-Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, which includes all stu- dens in Trade and Industrial voca- tional programs. FBLAXPBL - Future Business Leaders of AmericafPhi Beta Lambda, which includes all students in Clerical!Secretarial and Applied Accounting. OHOSO - Oklahoma Health Oc- cupations Students Organization, which includes students in Health Services Careers. DECA - Distributive Education Clubs of America, which includes students in Fashion Merchandising. These organizations are consi- dered an extension of their voca- tional program and are geared to leadership development as well as to give opportunities for skill competi- tion at the district, state and national level. Moore High students attended classes with Norman High students as well as people who no longer at- tended high school.

the Rank ond ' There are 22 vocational programs at Moore-Norman Vo-Tech School, covering such careers as those in building trades, health occupations, electronics, and food production. Three modern homes were built as a co-operative project of several of the construction-oriented classes. Students of carpentry, brick masonry, heating and air condition- ing, electricity, and plumbing all worked to complete the houses, one of which was built with solar capacities. For those interested in gardening or greenhouse work, the vo-tech of- fered classes in horticulture and floriculture, as they had a large, new greenhouse. Fashion Merchandising, a class which prepares its students for work in retail stores, operated on a job credit program. Students received two hours credit for their work in the classroom, plus one hour for having an outside job in retail business. In the class, such subjects as personal appearance, customer service, how to apply for a job correctly, and wholesale buying were studied. Senior Chris Simpson, who plans on entering fashion merchandising as a career, said, I think the whole vo-tech program is fantastic! I wish more people would come out and see what goes on. The people are all on a person-to-person relationship, not a teacher-student one. In fash- ion merchandising, the teacher helps the students with their jobs, according to Chris. Rosie Sartin works with our employers, finding out where we need improvement and helping to smooth out any prob- lems that come up. she said. -I LEVEL MINDED.
