Students from all four county high schools commute daily by bus to at- tend one of the fourteen three- period courses offered. RHS combines with Brookville to make up the major portion of stu- dents. Of the 433 students, 154 come from Rustburg. Students attending the Center find many advantages as a result of the pleasant atmosphere and modern facilities. With such practical cour- ses, students are able to see what they’re doing, benefit from the results and learn through experi- ence. Job preparation and working experience are offered in a variety of courses from Auto Mechanics to Child Care. Each program has at least one facet which makes it unique. Many programs, in fact, do work outside the Center. Auto Body Repair and Auto Mechanics are busy repairing defective autos, while Electricity and Electronics have wired a bus shelter as well as helped with problems in- side the Center. Building Trades and Masonry classes helped build several constructions, mainly a new bus shelter. Food Service students serve hot meals to various groups, Cloth- ing and Home Furnishings are mak- ing draperies for a few area schools, (continued) Investigating the various parts of an auto- mobile engine in Auto Mechanics, Paul Laughlin and James Scott find out it’s a little more difficult putting it back together. ee Checking out the circuits in a nearby utility room, an Electronics class learns that it pays to be careful while handling wiring.
