"Diversified occupations activities for
the past five months have shown a
gain, not onl.v in active student partic
ipation, but also in value to the high
school student and local employer.”
(leorge L. Sandvig, co-ordinator of vo
cational education, said in a statement
to a High Life reporter this week.
Three Members Graduate
The class, which is open to both .jun
iors and seniors, enables a high school
student to begin work in his desired
profession, to gain basic training in
that work, and to secure a permanent
job upon graduation, Mr. Sandvig de
clared.
Of the 18 participants in the pro
gram three will graduate next week.
These have already obtained employ
ment through the D. O. class and have
been training for their respective jobs
during the semester. Among the work
ers who will graduate are Charles Hall,
Alden Hubble and Charles Coker. Hall,
a machinist, will go to work at the
I’omona Manufacturing company ; Hub
ble will join the local A. G. S. radio
repair station; and Coker will work at
the Carolina theater.
Plan Varied Program
“The new program for diversified oc
cupations next semester will include
special individual training,” Sandvig
explained. "Boys in the group will be
given the opportunity to learn auto-
mechanics and machine shop practice,
while girls will do actual ofhee work
in class.” Five credits a year are al
lowed on the course, Director Sandvig
stated.
Rer.sons interested in the course
should contact Mr. Sandvig in room 5
before registration next week to plan
their activities in advance.
