ASSENCI N sxcuseo M uusxcuseo N365 TARD7 For the first time, Wellsboro schools fell under the ever-increasing influence of compu- terization. All grading, scheduling, and daily attendance were done through a computer. Each student, teacher, and course became a number. Though this new system took adjust- ment on the part of everyone involved, it seemed to be working out. This system made grading and keeping records easier for the ad- ministration. It allowed teachers to make comments on the report card, and it elimi- nated students having to compute nine week averages. The attendance on the report card was more accurate so parents could see exactly how many days were missed, excused, and unex- cused. As with all innovations, there were a few wrinkles that needed to be straightened out, but when these were solved, the new system made work easier for everyone. Computerization also became a new part of our academic program. As a part of the voca- tional training program, students were bussed to Mansfield State College for training in com- puter programming. n' 'U 4 Q an I 5' , fe, f 4? .5 if fi' I V 3-1 v , 1 .

The Tioga County Vocational Techni- cal School Program, directed by Mr. Robert Barr and his staff is designed to help certain students learn the techni- ques of their vocation. It is a cooperative program between the Wellsboro, North- ern Tioga, and the Southern Tioga School Districts. The following programs are under Mr. Barr's direction: Building Construction, Basis Skills for tlze Handi- capped, Computer Programming, and Cooperative Education. Located at Whit- neyville, the Building Construction pro- gram teaches the student about housing construction. The Basic Skills for the Handicapped program, also located at Whitneyville, is for students with special problems. It offers such vocations as masonry, brick laying, welding, plumb- ing, floral designing, data processing, power mechanics, and carpentry. The Cooperative Education is a coop- erative program between employers in the Wellsboro area, and a student. The student works for and is trained by an employer. In addition, the student re- ceives one technical class a week with a supervisor in the studenfs own school. In all four of these programs, the student spends one-half of the day in school and the other half at his vocational technical school, 351' f , - f -A g'-,'s.QP1sgf.s- ' Joe Burrows guaranteed this was going to be a truss you can trust!
