WEEKLY AND BI-WEEKLY PUBLICATIONS The Rodeo is a weekly summaiy of the news of the school, published in the Keith County News. The contents of this is mainly class news and main events occurring around the school. Each class and organization elects its representative for the Rodeo staff. The staff meets every Monday afternoon from 3 o’clock to 3:30. The Alallago is the bi-weekly pub- lication of O. H. S. One of the main columns was the “Snoopy Snoot in which all of the choice bits of gossip and scandal about the school were featured. Another amusing column was the “Nit- in-wit“, in which the names of various students were inserted for those used in jokes and situations. Both publications were under the spon- sorship of Mr. Wilson. FUTURE STENOCS ON THE COMMER- CIAL SPEEDWAY From learning to a job is sometimes a long step, but when students are grad- uated from the commercial department they are well qualified for positions as stenographers, public accountants, or bookkeepers. They are not only quali- fied for these positions, but most of them secure positions quickly, and hold their jobs against all competition. To be a member of Business Neo- phytes. a student must have an average of a C” in all of his commercial sub- jects. At one of the earlier meetings C. J. McGinley spoke to the group pointing out just what qualifications an employer has a right to expect from his sten- ographer. An outstanding feature of an- ther meeting was the demonstration of the operation of the duplicating machine.

Individual sports and social activities go not unheeded. The annual play day is the outstanding occurrence each year for this group. This was held in the fall and several of the surrounding towns at- tended. The Ogallala girls attended the play days at Chappell and Sidney, and were invited to North Platte. Play Day is a means by which girls from neighboring towns have a general get to- gether and meet new personalities and make new friends. It has served as a means of developing good sportsmanship, and fostering an interest in sports. Whole hearted participation in the or- ganization's activities leads to an appre- ciation of nature and the great outdoors.

Afcy -£ ■ cr AW1' o A 7 s y. -to j , x- y C ‘ M «fj c JLa l j vU All those experienced in the field of edu- cation know that only a small percentage of high school graduates finally enter college. They also know that a vast army of young workers attempting to enter many diverse occupations, find that specific training is required before the aspiring young worker is hired. dU U- In seeking a solution to this problem. Ogallala High School introduced into its curriculum, the course termed. Trades and Industries , which enables a student to spend at least one half of his time working for the employer at a nominal wage, during which time he masters the skills and much of the technical content of the occupation, utilizing the equipment and shop facilities of the employer and relieving the school of the necessity of installing equipment in the school. The balance of the learner’s time is spent in school, two hours of which school time the learner devotes to the study of technical information directly related to and supplementing the occupation in which the youth is employed. This related instruction is taught by a competent teacher. Mr. Col- lins is representative of this position in O. H. S. We Work As We Learn Left to right: Mr. Collins. M. Jacobson. L. Harding, M.
