ALLIED ARTS and DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Distributive education officers get ready for state competition. The distributive education program, headed by Mr. Rainville, has been the most recent addition to the Woonsocket High School curriculum. It was designed to prepare students to enter the labor force after graduation. Distributive education is based, on the principle of learning while doing, and its primary goal is the development of leadership qualities. Those who participated in this program gained experience that will make it easier for them to obtain employment after graduation. The Allied Arts program, in its second year at Woonsocket High School, studied the simultaneous development of art, music, and literature during the Romantic Period. Mr. Allard, Mrs. Fener, Mr. Hanley, Mr. Haines, and Mrs. Rogillio, the primary teachers involved in the project, hoped that their students would gain an appreciation of the interrelation of the arts.
