In addition to this vocational aspect, the student is provided with a general background which is planned to train for good citizenship. The curriculum is so designed that a program is offered which will best fit the individual needs, interests, and abilities of the students planning for a business career. To correlate class room theory and skill prac- tice with actual work-experience, the Business Education Department offers two avenues of cooperative training. The first, and older of the two programs, is the Office Occupational Training. Senior students are provided the opportunity of working full-time alternate weeks in an office in the community where they receive work-experience. During the weeks when these students are not in the office, they attend their regularly scheduled classes, and another student replaces them. The other cooperative program, Distributive Education, was developed under the George Deen Act, and provides training to students who attend school during the morning, and perform actual experience in local stores or other distributive occupations during the after- noon. All of the services of the Distributive Education program must be in direct Contact with the customer, in an over-the-counter operation. Prospective employers are thus afforded the op- portunity of observing prospective employees prior to graduation: and conversely. the students are provided valuable practical ex- perience which is so helpful to a new prospect on his entrance into the business world. The program of the Business Education De- partment is so arranged that students major in stenography, bookkeeping, clerical work, or distributive education.

This inscription, cut in stone, adorns the arch- way of a Science building of a well-known college. It is the inspiration to the many embryo scientists that pass through the portal. Since the day, when holes were blasted in Creation at Hiroshima and at Nagasaki, man knew he was at the fork of the road. If he follows it to the right, he will utilize the enormous new source of power for the im- provement of society, or if he follows it to the left, it will be self-destruction. Our Department, here at the William Penn Senior High School, is making solid efforts to lead on to the right. There are new laws,- to learn, to teach, to live. It is a difficult path but we still try.
