Free to be technical This year the Valley Voca- tional Technical School in Fi- shersville, Virginia gave many students that were not plan- ning to go to college a chance to begin there careers. In order to attend the tech school a student must be in the llth grade except for the cos- motology program which was a three year course. Also avail- able were a few one year courses such as auto servicing, health assistant, and office as- sistant-SIP, but these pro- grams were only offered to seniors, Some of these two year pro- grams included electricity, 24 Tech school electronics, machine shop, metal trades, auto body repair, and masonry just to name a few. Two of the most competi- tive programs where data pro- cessing and auto mechanics. In order to get into these pro- grams a student had to have as much math and English as pos- sible. Over all the tech school gave many students a chance to have a trade or begin a ca- reer. It was an excellent educa- tion at an affordable price and many students took advantage of this and attended to tech school. by Missy Terrell ee ee TE OEE EO TREE ERE Se TEE CEE UR EE OE ECe
