CURRICULUM DRIVER EDUlIA'l'l0N GUIDANCE Two courses in Vocational Guidance are offered two times at Shorewood. The ninth grade orientation course is a ten weeks subject. Here the students are given tests and guidance in find- ing their interests, aptitudes, and abilities in fields of work. To- wards the end of the period one has a chance to investigate and explore one job. Seniors who are not planning to attend col- lege are offered an additional course for three weeks. Here trends in occupations and a sur- vey of job abilities are made by the students. Driver Education is a course required of every student. It is given as a prelude to becoming a licensed driver. Upon reaching the age of sixteen and completing the work of the class, the student is eligible to receive his temporary instruction permit. By means of a text and mechanical devices, Mr. Gibbs is making future drivers well informed as to laws, parts of the car, and physical in- adequacies.
