Courses are so designed for personal use, occu- pational use, and for those who plan to attend college. An in- service program has been set up so that business students can as- sist in the administrative depart- ment of the school. This gives first-hand experience to students interested in office work and pre- pares for good business inter-rela- tionships that are necessary in bus- iness organization. The Distributive Education pro- gram provides members with a means of learning vocational op- portunities in the field of Distribu- tion. Students are required to work part time in retail, wholesale, and service selling occupations. Class- room studies include distribution and merchandising as related to store organization, each student spends fifteen hours a week on the job training as well as attend- ing regular classes at school.

Patrick Henry's library has shown evidence of its growth in the past year. The library has in- creased its number of books from approximately 6,350 to 8,100 and many more are on order. Every day the library has been filled- students seeking information and material for projects, themes, as- signments, and term papers, some reading just for pleasure. Patrick Henry pioneered a course in programmed Library Science, and sixty-six interested students participated, At the beginning of the course a diagnostic test was given by Hollins College. At home or during a free period, partici- pants completed the fourteen chap- ter course. Upon completion they were given the same test a second time and the two test results were compared. Boyd Nichols, Bill Waldrop, Carol Eubank, Connie Trumpeter, Ann Daniel, Judy Nichols, Suzanne Hopper, Frank Morris, Marty Hood, .loan Kaplan, and Nelson Thompson were library assistants. ,fir new A W Mft? guide Q PWM?
