Presently students ire required to take V.O.E. Lab. This lrospectus was established in 1972 my Mrs. Leona Mclfarlin. The pur- iose of the program was to help enrich the knowledge skills of the students for the jobs. The students in V.O.E. Co-op are trained to work such equipment as electronic calculators, duplicating and transcribing machines. They must also learn the proper proce- dures for filing and answering the telephones. These students are part of the many who work half day and attend school half day. V.O.E. Co-op is one of the classes the students must sign up for. While in this one hour class they brush up on such skills as personality development, human relations, and the necessities for one to hold a job and be a suc- cessful employee.
