A constantly developing program of occupational guidance and training is offered to students in Pontiac Senior High School through the department of vocational education. The election of industrial subjects in the tenth grade may be for the development of consumers' values and abilities, or for a basic preparation to extended train- ing in technical and engineering schools. Established programs in apprentice preparatory courses are offered in grades eleven and twelve to students who will seek apprentice opportunities fol- lowing high school graduation in such skilled trades as automotive service, tool and die work, machine maintenance, pattern making, metal fabrication, draft- ing, and printing. Part-time apprentice training courses, combining work experiences with regular high school studies, are available to both boys and girls in grades eleven and twelve. The related and vocational subjects are extended to complete the training period after graduation from high school. The apprentice train- ing courses cover both the productive and distribu- tive occupations.

Cos, Here I sit parching under a dryer after one of my dousings the pool The Quiver staff 1S quite used to seeing me drenched but I strike no note of sympathy in the heart of Steffek who advised me that my section is to be written by the end of the week The assignment gives me a renewed enthusiasm for I know that we are now at the end of a series of rearrangements, disarrangements and final arrangements required to lend a friendly informality to our '39 Quiver. The greatest difficulty in the compiling of the faculty division was the gathering together in one place, at one time, the 86 members Picture pulling a dripping Miss Sundling out of the blue depths or a paint engrossed Miss Davenport from the art room We were relieved of much prodding by Mr. Thors who obligingly assembled the camera-shy instructors in the library where we hastily seated the victims and snapped their photos against a background of sage volumes. Our next problem was that of identifying these numerous faces and except for fear of mixing the two Miss Carpenters, it was easily solved However the pictures having been glued and sent away on their background of white card board and are now returned in their final form so that all may visualize the completed product Now I was to proceed on a ngossip-getting campaignn inquiring of all the students land teachers tool the interest- ing bits they know about the faculty and to incorporate them the most lively comments so he was my first victim. Next one sunny March day I visited 902, Riker Building, where I questioned a cooperative Mr. Blackwood as to the affairs of the school board With that supply of information, in my old hunt and punch method I picked out the necessary number of words QI thoughtj My stooge interviewed Mr Harris and really scraped up a long list of events in his life even without the aid of a Who s Who in Michigan Thus with that last article written, my Quiver work was finished but was I surprised when back came all my compositions ingected with lengthy spots of red. To think I thought I was a Journalist' Well dear Cos I'm about to the end of my resources, and seeing that my wig is about dry I will tear home and concentrate on a rush book report and incidentally a chocolate cake Will mail this on the way-- Love, Qwme tifeakf, x Hi ll il in .
