I ■ Two apprentice training programs are now of- fered in the high school. The apprentice-prepar- atory gives training in the following major fields: automotives, machine shop, pattern shop, sheet- metal, drafting and printing. Apprenticeship in diversified occupations (especially the distributive occupations) is an innovation this year. Junior students may elect an apprenticeship training pro- gram whereby they are enabled to work part- time in a chosen occupation and also to graduate from high school in the usual time.
