5i Round-Up, 1928 i9 VOCATION AL VOCATIONAL F oREwoRD HE vocational courses for which Roosevelt is now widely noted have all been developed within a few years and offer a wonder- Z-Sl'-QQ ful opportunity to those students who do not plan to go to college. Vocational training in high school is a new idea, and one which in the last few years has been seriously adopted by Los Angeles schools. Roosevelt may be justly proud of its shops and accomplishments along vocational lines. No other department has shown more prog- ress since the beginning of our school. Judging from the number of students enrolled in these courses, we can see that our vocational department is an assured success, and is of major importance. One of the features of the department is the short unit courses. Many students having only a short time to remain at Roosevelt wish to start a vocational course so that they may not be without some prac- tical training. The short unit course enables them to omit some aca- demic work in order that they may learn a trade in a limited time. From a small beginning the department has been developed until now the complete courses offer a wonderful opportunity to any stu- dent. Mr. H. P. Rees, head of the boys' vocational department, and the competent staff of teachers under him have done much toward determining the success which has accompanied this department. A good deal has been said concerning the boys' vocational depart- ment, but the girls and their work in this field are surely deserving of as much credit and praise as can be given them. The Personal Hygiene and Trade Sewing classes offered by the Home Economics Depart- ment have done a great deal in teaching girls practical trades which they can use immediately after graduation from high school. Many students, both boys and girls, have already taken advantage of the great variety of courses offered by the vocational department. These students bear testimony of the value they have received from their studies. Often students expect to go on to college, but discover too late that they can not do so. For this reason, no matter what the course may be, every student is urged to take advantage of the voca- tional training offered here at Roosevelt. Page Fifteen
