Business Ed odds sophomore VOE plus new offices It took three offices to hold Mr. Johnson's growing business department this year. Nestled at the end of the north wing and between room 212A and 212B, these type- writer-filled offices were training and management sites for the huge work-ori- ented department. To keep self-supporting sophomores in daytime school whenever possible, a work experience co-op was added to the curriculum. Each VOE student worked one week in diverse busi- nesses to gain firsthand expe- rience. As secretaries, Randi McClure worked at the Police Departmentg Dawn Husslein at the Airport Credit Union and Post Officeg Sylvia Smith at a funeral home. iitgi., - With his hands on a wrong row, Tom Tyler begins his lessons.

Council members visit chambers, did judge in setting punishments One of the few clubs that held no meetings, Youth Council recruited two members each week to attend court and assist the judges in setting punishments. Suzan Williamson, presi- dent, and Gina Burmeister, vice-president, organized the schedule excusing members from class to go to court. ln the chambers at 9:00, the Youth Council representa- tives sat with the judge behind the bar. After guilt was decid- ed, they suggested possible sentences, often accepted and used by the variousjudges. All schools in the county could participate in the pro- gram. The Council, sponsored by Mr. Glenn Alvis, consisted of 25 members who took turns passing judgement at court. Lori Marks and Frances Martens gasp surprisedly at a familiar face.
