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 .
