OCCUPATIONS NIGHT The thought behind Occupations Night was to inform students about different Job occupations. Pifty-four occupations were presented. Students could ask questions, talk and listen to people who worked in these various occupations. The night was divided into three one- half hour periods. Thi3 gave you time to inquire about many of your interests. MILITARY NIGHT The purpose of Military night was to acquaint students with all branches of the Armed Porces. The evening was divided into three one-half hour periods. The Air Porce presented a movie entitled, You which dealt with the reasons why you should stay in high school. COLLEGE NIGHT College night gave us the opportunity to gain knowledge about the college of our choice. The students had questions which they wanted answered, but when we arrived the lights were out. Candles and flood lights were used in place of them. Power was restored in an hour. Sessions were shortened to two half- hour periods after the delay. In spite of this, the evening was a success.

ADULT EDUCATION Aware of our growing community's demand for an accelerated program, the school offered adult education classes to all adults within this school district. The enrollment was high. Promenade Is a familiar call to those that took Square Dancing. Not only did this class Improve leisure, the participants made new friends. Public Speaking helped the adults acquire confidence, poise , and knowledge of talking before groups and conducting meetings. As a result of this course, the citizens of this community should be well-rounded. If you wanted to avoid the last minute rush at Christmas, you took the Christmas Workshop. That class covered gift wrapping, tree ornaments, and novel Christmas Ideas. No one can say this school district Is under fed. Both a Home Economics Cook Class and Chef 3 Class were held. The Home Economics Cook Class was for the women, and the Chef's Class was designed for the men. Bookkeeping Is one of the most popular classes. The course offered single and double entry systems; columnar Journals; and a simplified method of handling fiscal period work, social security, and taxes. Typing was offered. The course taught or perfected the touch system with Instruction and practise to build speed. A course in the art of making tables, cabinets, furniture, etc. was offered.
