Cosmetology was a popular program for girls last year. Guys favored advanced machine shop, heating, air conditioning and graphic arts. Applications to the Career Center are made in February each year. Most pro- grams are organized for a two-hour block of time. Penn high has 38 students attending the Career Center.
