Proctor Tells Juniors
About D. E. Program
Urging present members of the junior
class who are interested in securing
jobs through the local distributive edu
cation program, A. S. Proctor, local
co-ordinator, began last week to visit
various session rooms to discuss the
program with them.
Proctor explained that applications
for entrance on the local part - time
work schedule should be made during
April and May, as jobs will be filled
for next year just as soon as applicants
appear to till them.
“Prospects for students who are in
terested in making retailing their
career are fairly bright,” Proctor stat
ed. "Student workers should possess
initiative, should be above average in
personality and should be adapted in
some way to the job on which thes' are
placed.”
Requirements Listed
Requirements for the program are
as follows: (1) Students should be ris
ing seniors, all of whom plan to gradu-
I ate in 1943; (2) Students should have
schedules so arranged that they may
leave for their jobs by one o’clock each
day; (3) Students should be at least
16 years of age, should be in good
health and should possess a business
like appearance.
IMembers of the local retailing class
spend one hour each day in class,
studying phases of their individual
jobs. xVlso, these student workers are
re(iuired to work at least 15 hours per
week on their jobs. Besides receiving
two and one half credits per semester
for their jobs, participants in the pro
gram are paid for their work on the

“Look forward, look forward, O Time,
in your flight ...” In the March 20
issue of High Life, activities at Senior
high were traced over a period of 10
.vears. Todiiy. for the purpose of those
dear souls who will not reside in the
halls of their old -alma mater come
1992, we survey copies of the school
paper printed from the great years of
1952 to 1982, inclusive.
Back in 1957 members of the student
government association, convening in
their new .$10,009 meeting hall, voted
to have a beauty contest to select the
10 most beautiful girls on the school
campus to serve soda pop and lemonade
to the students while they were chang
ing classes. Arrangements were also
made to buy new lawn chairs for the
grounds.
Visitors Marveled
Visitors to the school campus mar
veled at the 20 beautiful buildings,
some 10 stories high, with esculators
carrying the students to and from their
classes. On top of the main and sci
ence buildings new parking sheds for
autogyros had been installed. It is
estimated that some 300 of these planes
bring several thou,sand students to and
from school each day.
Newest improvement in the cafeteria
system was brought about in 1960, when
an automat was installed. This pro
vided meals for 12,000 pupils, who con
sumed 36.000 ice cream sodas and some
78,000 ice cream ])ies each week.
Bob Patterson, noted band leader, will
play in the assembl.v tomorrow morning,
the paper said. Patterson, a former
local student, is repoi'ted to l>e making
$100,000 a year with his rhythm gang.
Additions to ,the curriculum in 1985
included the study of advanced mathe
matics taught in Spanish. Japanese and
German were termed ■'dead" languages
at the school.
All in all, the school made consider
able improvement over the past 40
years. For the school, which now cov
ers some 5,000 acres, has had a long
struggle. Remember, there was a time
when students actually had to WALK
to their classes!
Time Marches On!
