Mr. Frank Fitzpatrick Mrs. Josephine Hentz Mr. Charles Burdeen Vocational Skills Stressed in Work Study To prepare students for the practical business world, West ' s Co-operative Work Training Program was expanded this year. Students attended all morn¬ ing classes and worked under department supervi¬ sion at various jobs in the afternoon. Although no new courses were offered, several were in the think¬ ing stage according to department head Frank Fitzpatrick. He hoped that next year the department would offer a two semester course in data processing and independent study in accounting.

Drivers ' Ed Acquires Shift ' Cars New to the Drivers ' Education program this year, was the optional use of the Volkswagon clutch car. Department head James Kettleborough stated that the purpose of using the Volkswagon was to expose the student to the problems associated with operat¬ ing a shift car. The department also expressed the hope that there would be a new simulator installa¬ tion in the immediate future, as the drivotrainer cars were pronounced in very poor mechanical condition. Mr. George Earl Mr. George Galla Mr. John Harmon Driver Ed students are ready, with or without an instructor. A heated car is welcome relief from the wintry weather. 30
