gtgigi Buy, W W .ursil Realworlding: image The image rnakersv who assisted in shaping successful career-oriented stu- dents in real-world situations were Trades and Industry Co-op Coordinator John Breck and business teacher Mike Voyles. Breck and Voyles helped 20 stu- dents to develop career skills and man- nerisms through Related Subjects and Distributive Education Theory classes. Changing hatsi' from the student- youth world into the adult world high- lighted students' challenges in Related Subjects according to Breck. Literally senior Max Tague changed hats by donning a hard hat to work at Tri-City Fabricating and Welding Co. lnc. as he daily dealt with adult tasks and responsi- bilities. After five months of running spe- cialized equipment at Gene's Radiator and Machine Shop, Rob Brown claimed that the experience gave him a real sense of pride and made him feel good that he was doing more than slapping hambur- gers at a fast food establishment. Attendance is a necessity -like on a jobf' stressed Voyles in his theory class where students refined job procuring skills, hygiene habits, and manners. According to Ted Jacobs, theory class built confidence for him as he received positive input and solid advice from a team of classmates and Voyles. Tammy Shadwick emphasized how theory course Hbettered her attitude toward work. f , , , , , ,,,k, K , , 'rrrraa H EHUQATEQ3 'ter-,ti 1 ZW 5.9 ,gpmammxr ef N ' E ,W , , it C0-op squad: Front Row: Matt Fahrenkrug, Melisa Schabilion, Mike ff?

I've met a lot of people since Ilve been working and made lots of friends, even people I thought I'd never like! High school isn't just going to boring classes, attending dances, ball games, concerts, or buying NHS socks. Itis also an educational endeavor. This year, 23 students received this type of education through the Cooperative Office and Distributive Education Programs. Such training has been possible through many city government em- ployees, as well as, federal employers, 'Co-op.!Distributive Ed. restaurants, and various types of stores. Coordinator, Mr. Frank Roger's has filled the position last 25 years, 23 of which were in Davenport. And he insists, The program isn't only for female students, as there are several male students in the Distributive Education Program. As part time office clerk Tracee Herington has learned more accounting abilities since work began in August at Kimberly Barn. With the accounting background received in high school, Herington works with accounts payable and receivable. For almost one year, Kim Haddix has worked at River Center where she learned Word Processing, filing, event planning, and making sales packages. She described her job as a good learning experience, I learned the Ways of the business field and all the skills that are needed to be a successful secretary. I loved it!,'
