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.

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.

Homemakers of Tomorrow The aims of the Home Economics Club are to make future homemakers and develop each girl's personality. These girls are taught the secrets of well balanced meals, and decorative table settings in the food unit. Early in the year an interesting unit was that of child care, during which time the girls made baby clothes. They then made dresses, and play suits and modeled these in a style show which they sponsored. To demonstrate their skill in the culinary art. they served a three-course dinner to the members of the school board and their wives. Chalk, Books and Blackboa rds One of the most active and remunera- tive. if honors and achievements are to be considered, of Ogallala High’s organi- zations is the Future Teachers Club. The Future Teachers are those who next year will be passing on the infor- mation which they have acquired during the past twelve years, to the youngsters who will look to them for learning and guidance. Under Miss Nielson these students are taught the rudiments and essentials of teaching. Betty Gregory fits a housecoat for Pauline Hoke as other members of the Home Economics Club watch and learn.
