Students, Parents Attend Conference This year’s annual career conference marked its 30th year. Mr. Dick Johnson, guidance counselor, invited representatives from various colleges, schools, and armed services about existing career opportunities and educational requirements. Students and parents were allowed to go to whichever representative they preferred. The students were allowed three sessions. After the sessions, the representatives stayed for an informal discussion. A representative from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln seemed to have the most inquirers.

Each year a day is set aside for personnel from schools and colleges to visit with prospective students. Government Day provides a different view of our government’s processes. Minicourses are a chance to learn new skills. The plays and musicals are a relief and an escape from everyday tedium and boredom. We also honor those students who have excelled.
