To Vocational Students, Expansion Means Progress The vocational school has ex- panded each year since it began in 1970. Most students enrolled were from New Castle, but other schools involved this year included Tri- High, Union, Hagerstown and Knightstown. The students in the vocational school usually were not college bound. The instructors in these classes made sure that stu- dents learned workable occupations which did not require further train- ing. The students received two credits for each semester as long as both semesters were completed. The courses offered in the Voca- tional School were Office Educa- tion, Vocational Distributive Edu- cation, Health Occupations, Home Economics Related Occupations and Trade and Industrial Training.

New Additions Aid Energetic Science Students The Science department had a few new additions this year. The first was the new Chemistry in- structor, Mr. C. L. Renner. Others included a new resource center, video tapes that helped prepare Integrated Science students for their labs and also a program which gave some Biology classes the choice of what they wanted to study and when they wanted to take a test. This year, more than ever before, the metric system was employed. The Science courses offered at C.H.S. were vital to the future of many students in college. High school science presented a back- ground which later could be used in such careers as medicine and other fields involving science. RIGHT: Mr. Furbee gives aid to student Cindy Porter.
