advisory committees The purpose of the advisory committees is to help the students, who are prospective workers, to be informed of up-to-date requirements in each trade. This is accomplished by the assistance of these committees, in advising depart- ment heads of new trends, procedures and trade requirements. Each com- mittee is composed of representatives of local business, trades, and industries. The State Department of Vocational Education requires that a committee be appointed for each trade. Close cooperation between school and industry is aided by holding special conferences and meetings of these committees. Auto Body and Auto Mechanics Departments Mr. Arthur E. Center Owner, A. E.

Crade High School Trade High School courses are designed to provide education on both high school and post-high school levels with specialized training for employment in the highly skilled and technical fields. These courses add but one feature to the educational pattern of the traditional high school; namely, training for a specific trade to equip students leaving high school with salable skills in order that they may enter industry under the most favorable conditions. The curriculum aims to supply knowledge and training that will contribute to a satisfying and useful life. Through proper guidance, an effort is made to discover and use rather than by-pass the natural incentives of the individual’s interests and aptitudes. Em- phasis is not alone on competency in preparation for a job. Personal develop- ment comes first in the form of education for character building and good citizenship. Students are eligible for admission after they have successfully completed the eighth grade, and are allowed to graduate upon successful completion of the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Students are required to take the following subjects: English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Health Education, Music. A selection of a trade may be made with the advice and assistance of the Guidance Department. ; Every student is encouraged to complete the requirements for a high school diploma. An individual who cannot meet the high school English and mathe- matics requirements may earn a Trade School diploma if he can demonstrate proficiency in his shop or labratory work. A cooperative (work-study) course is offered to meet the needs of students who, for economic reasons, cannot continue the regular full-time program. Students in this program are required to attend school one-half time for their academic and related studies and spend the other one-half time in paid employment. College preparatory courses are not included in the curriculum; however, students with exceptional ability have continued on to college after graduation. Extra-curricular activities, such as sports, drama, art, glee club, and social affairs have the same values as in other high school programs. A balanced correlation of cultural studies, and those studies related directly to the chosen trade, together with health instruction, and extra-curricular oppor- tunities, is the baasis upon which the Trade High School program is built.
