Vocational Work This year Murphy High School has added to its curriculum a new type of course, the purpose of which is to help boys and girls prepare themselves for some useful service in the community as a part of their regu- lar high school program. Many boys and girls know they will be unable to continue their education beyond the four years of high school. If they try to find a job in the occupation they would like to follow, they find that they have had no preparation or even any real understanding of what the work is like. The purpose of this new course is to give to these boys and girls a start in an occupation they have selected as one they want to follow. The boy or girl thus gets an advantage that only those who formerly went to college had. If the boy or girl finds after graduating that they can go to college, they can do so because the graduates of this plan get a regular high school diploma, graduating with Mi»» Patterson, Mr. Ward.

PRESIDENTS' As president of the Student Co- operative Government Association and chairman of the Advisory Council Hylman Nelson and Charles Baumhauer might well be envied of their high positions in Murphy’s Student Cooperative Government Association. Charles, chairman of the Advisory Council, is directing that group toward another successful year; while Hylman, as presiding officer of the Governing Council, capably guides the destinies of that body. The requisites which govern the election of these officers speaks well for their character, scholar- ship, and popularity with Murphy’s throng of students. Nelson and Baumhauer A Student Council Meeting ADVISORY COUNCIL As the junior member of the Student Cooperative Government Association, the Advisory Council does its share toward making Murphy a better place in which to live. Organized with the immediate object of promoting closer relationship between the Gov- erning Council and student body in interest of good citizenship, the council has proved successful. Its membership includes one representative from each section. The members elect from among their number a clerk, vice-chairman, and chairman who presides at the meetings. In addition to these student officers, there are two faculty advisors appointed by the principal. This year’s council is presided over by the amiable Charles Baumhauer with Miss Jessie Mary Gay and Mr. William Unzicker as the capable advisors. 1191 Adviser Unzicker. Gny, Stapleton

Vocational Work the rest of the clas. with practical job experience in addition to the regular high school education. Boys and girls who participate in this plan work three hours each school day in a shop, store, office, or other ap- proved place of employment, getting practical work experiences. They spend three hours each day in school taking regular high school subjects in addition to a special subject in which they study the mathematics, science, or other material they need to know’ to become the best kind of workman in the occupation they have selected. The ultimate end of this type of training would be reached when there was a boy or girl being trained on every job in which they would be likely to be employed after graduating from high school. Every employer would be assured of a high school graduate for every job and every boy and girl thus employed would be on a job for which he was trained and in which he should he happy and efficient.
