Getting a head start Worried about getting a job after gradua- tion? These days people say that a high school education doesn't mean much when getting a job. Une way a student might have insured his future was by participating in one of the vocational training programs at North- view. A variety of vocational classes such as electronics, drafting, machine shop, Diversi- fied Health Occupations and cosmetology were offered. These courses gave the stu- dents a head start in securing good jobs after high school. We are learning jobs to go out in the world with, said senior Errol Smolenski, an electronics student. Electronics is a complex program teaching students the basics of computers, transistors and televisions. With more and more empha- sis being placed on electronics in society, Mr. Thomas Althoff, electronics teacher, said, More students want to know how it all works. Another vocational course that has a great deal to do with technology is machine shop, where the students assemble and repair all types of automotive parts. According to Mr. Rick Thomsen, students who are interested in continuing in automotive repair have a great advantage over those who have had no prior training and can easily get a job in an auto shop. Cosmetology requires the students to take a pre-test to find out their abilities and in- terests. The cosmetology rooms, and also the DHO rooms, are simulations of what they would look like in the real world. ln both courses students learn by practical applica- tion. For example, the Cosmetology students are taught how to cut and style hair. All of these vocational programs help pre- pare students for the future and give them a head start on a job of their choice. 14
