Students Earn as They Learn The D.C.E. (Diversified Co-operative Education) program, in its second year at South Central, has 29 juniors and sen- iors participating. The students attend classes in the mornings, and receive on- the-job training in the afternoons. They work in a vocational area which interests them and can prepare them for a career after high school. In their D.C.E. class every day, they can discuss the problems they encounter in their work, besides studying employer-employee relation- ships, social insurance, taxes, and the use of money earned. Each year the highlight of the year is the Employer-Employee banquet. The students take their respective employer or supervisor to dinner as a show of ap- preciation for their co-operative effort. The D.C.E. students are busily preparing for their sec- ond annual Employer-Employee Banquet. Here they are discussing some of the problems which arise in their work.

Business Education is divided into two major fields; vocational and general education. Vocational educa- tion prepares the student for entrance into the business society. It is possible after completing a sequence of courses for a student to enter a job at the beginning level. Many students take business courses for personal use and find the courses quite helpful in adult life. College-bound students take typing to help them in their college program. General business courses are in everyday life applicable to the problems encountered. The second year typing class added to their skills the use of the I.B.M. Executary as shown by Karen Howell. Lois Bluhm demonstrates the correct technique in transcribing her shorthand notes. Basics Learned in Business Ed. Susie Yeoman takes a timed writing, one of the es- sentials of Typing I.
