CAREER DAY On lvlonday afternoon, February l9th. Career Day became a reality at Orangeville I-ligh. Throughout the course of the afternoon, all senior students were given the opportunity of visiting three different occ- upatfonal fields of their own choosing, and of being enlightened by a pro-' fessional in each particular fieldo The purpose of a Career Day is to help each student ex:- plore the vocational areas for which he has aptitude and interestg provide specific information about selected vocationst possible employntent con- ditions, the training required, the rewards or possible hazards, special benefits, and how to prepare for a chosen fieldg emphasize the need for a well-:rounded education, and the longerange Value of as much education as possible, thus pressing for a reduction in the number of so called drop-outs , as well as give businessmen the opportunity of meeting that Younger Generation , perhaps their future custorners or employees., Although a teen-eager may change his or her desired pro: fession many times, by the time senior high school level ls reached, their scope should be somewhat diminished, or a definite target :ln sight., A Career Day permits such students to find out the how, why, where, when, and what, of a prospectlye vocation, to coin a phrase, Straight from the horse's mouth . In this way the student 1.5 gulded towards a wise and well contemplated decision., The need is also impressed upon htm for early planning and preparations in order to equip himself with speclalized know- ledge that he will need. This year 1962, our first year, we were fortunate to have representatives from a wide field of professions, The fields of medicine, dentistry, engineering, law, nursing, dietry, physiotherapy, X-tray tech- nology, laboratory technology, pharmacy, banking, general business? as well as fanniliarization with courses available at Ontario Agrl cultural College, University of Waterloo, Ontario College of Education, and Ryerh-J son Institute of Technologyg were brought into focus for our senior student body. Needless to say, Career Day was a huge success. and since credit 'should go where credit is due, llm sure all students will join me, in expressing appreciatlon and thanks to M'r. Russell Seltzer, the very capable director of our Guidance Department, According to the law of supply and demand, we needed Career Dayjz, now we'y'e got. lt., and we all hope to see it continued in the futureo Ted Srntth H213

Our kind benefactor, who in the course of the day evolved frorn Mr. Emigh, teacher, to Uncle Bill, chauffeur, had filled his glove compartment with chocolate bars, life savers, and gum which taken at regular and frequent intervals kept our wee Davy up to his usual active self. On arriving in Kincardine we decided it was lunch time., All of us had brought lunches but we felt like having sornething to drlnkl After cone siderable deliberation it was finally concluded that No, probably it wouldnt look quite right to go into the restaurant all carrying lunch bags and then ordering six glasses of water! So we did the next best thing vm- we all went in ordered our lunch and thanked Uncle Bill profusely for p-ck1ng up the tab, At the school we met the other speakers as they arrived, The contest began at 2:00 porn, a little later than we had expected, hows ever, to counteract the late starting time the juniors and seniors were divided so that both groups would be finished at the same tgrne, The conclpetition was good and even though Orangevxlle didn't quite make it this tripv there was no unhappiness or sour grapes, The speakers all had something to say and each one said it well., This year was the best one of competition for Ted and me but we both wish Judy and David well., .ln the coming years they will beconaes Orangeville speakers of distinction that you can all be proud of. Ted and l have been asked to represent the Orangeville Lion's Club Public Speaking cornpetition in Collingwoodo Nlarch Z3rd0 So in this way we hope to say thank you to all those who have been behmd us, to show Orangeville that her support was gratefully accept-edt Barb Worthington E SB ,X 4.
