The junior year is spent studying job related survival skills. Everything from balancing your checkbook to the proper way to conduct yourself during an interview is dis- cussed. From these juniors Mr. Jon Kalback, advisor, selects the top students to take part in the Diversi- fied Occupations II class. As seniors these stu- dents are permitted to leave school half day to work in a job of their choice in the local business community. Here they have an opportunity to ap- ply the skills learned during their junior year. Diversified Occupations provides an introduc- tion into the real world of work. This year’s Diver- sified Occupations II students held jobs from sec- retaries and cashiers to mechanics and stock boys. Overall, they seem to be satisfied with their se- nior year. Most appreciate the opportunity they received to experience the job world and at the same time earn the credits necessary for gradu- ation.

■■■■■IU Senior CSC Students Remark on Students who attend Career Studies Center feel very posi- tive about the year that they spent away from their home school. While they agree that CSC was valuable, their reasons for feeling that way are varied. For Mark Blair, the fun in- volved working on cars and learning about the different car parts. On the other hand, Wan- da Moyer sees her CSC experi- Cmma 2 ui in son WanJa DooJ S. rvice Wo, ence as worthwhile since she feels honestly qualified to hold a job in the food service area. Brenda Keller enjoyed the thrill of running a printing press and actually getting an impression on paper. Overall the students that went to CSC made new friends from all different schools and enjoyed the freedom that they had. JJarlaufk JJuff Boimelofoyy CJ'OO Bo, ,kart Rokki.
