Only about 30 percent of us will go on to college so most of us are interested in practical vocational classes which enable us to obtain skilled positions. With the help of our parents and counselors, we decided early in our high school careers what type of training we desired. Bookkeeping, printing, drafting, and even the use of complicated machines are no problem for many of us because of our high school training, and we are well on our way to good iobs in industry and business.

Even though we left our fresh- men behind at the Junior High, we still had 950 students enrolled in 180 classes with 42 teachers. With such a variety of classes it became necessary for all of us to make choices. We picked out a few elec- tives which interested us most, de- termined our maiors and minors, and to looked forward to graduation.
