Jobs increase skills Sales support contests For the members of Office Educa- tion, the day was different from the average student's. OE students had a zero period class, and then left early to work, 'Being in OE was great because I was able to have time to myself and get to work earlier than I would be able to if I went to school full-time. l was able to go to work at 'I p.m. and still get about four hours of work each day. Therefore, I was able to make quite a bit of money, said Fanetta Bates, senior. To support activities OE had a candy and an ornament sale. Profits from the sales went toward the employeefem- ployer banquet in May and also to- ward the expenses of sending stu- dents to state and national contests. The OE students had to have a job which was related to office education and had to take business courses, such as shorthand and typing. Taking shorthand and typing en- abled me to apply the helpful things I learned in the classroom to my job, stated Kelli Beck, senior. OE taught the girls about the inde- pendence and responsibility one faced after high school. OE was a rewarding part of my senior year: it furthered my experience in the work- ing world and prepared me for life after high school, said Dawn Kane, senior. Whatever way they went after high school, OE students were prepared for life in the business world. ' un I . ky S5 ,wa P3225 X s . X httt f I if - '55 ,dt works.
