Special Programs The automotive and aerospace programs soared into motion this spring. With the instructor flying a plane rebuilt by one of the classes, the aerospace program is off the ground. The aerospace program is designed to pre- pare the student for work in the field of aeronautios and aerospace. The two-year program will offer an applied science degree and will make the student eligible for a license by the Federal Aviation Agency. As a term project the advanced classes disassembled and rebuilt an airplane purchased by the school. Upon completion, the two-place train- er, an Aeronca Champion is to be flown by instructor Homer Smith. Automotive mechanics, a two-year voca- tional program, provides the necessary train- ing for management opportunities as well as developing basic skills. Students spend class time working on engines donated to the school. Mechanical skills are further developed by repairing the personal cars of students, fac- ulty, and the administration.

Faculty Members For students in the mid-management pro- gram, working in industry is as much a part of classroom learning as actual lectures. The mid-management program, consisting of 20 students representing 27 different businesses, is a two-year accelerated business manage- ment program with classroom instruction supplementing on-the-job training. Instructors on campus work with the train- ing sponsors in business in supervising the student. Training sponsors assist the instruc- tor by evaluating the students on qualities such as initiative, personality, cooperation, and dependability. In addition, students are paid a regular salary by the business in which they work. The office occupations programs offers major fields of study in general clerical, gen- eral secretarial, legal secretarial, medical sec- retarial, and accounting. Students in univer- sity parallel and various technical programs also take courses within the office occupa- tions program. Data processing is a detailed study of machines and system. By lecture and prac- tical applications, the student learns program- ming, computing, and processing techniques.
