C oursos offered to NC IIS Vocational courses offered at NCHS are homemaking, industrial arts, and trades, and industries. Cooking, sewing, economy and home management are presented to girls in homemaking. Practical application and experimentation of new ideas is stressed in the classroom. Boys taking industrial arts acquire skill in woodworking, metal shop and mechanical drawing. Articles of wood or metal are made by the boys to prove their ability. Mechanical drawing is basic in this mechanical age. Students majoring in trade and industries receive valuable and practical preparation for their careers in this program. A half day at school and the rest of the day on the job keeps these students busy. Graduates from any of these courses should easily find a job which will give security and a fair salary for them.
