GRIMSLEV HIGH SCHOOL, GREENSBORO, N. C. 27410 — NOVEMBER 9, 1971
NUMBER 4
GHS Sponsors Occupational Programs
Grimsley High School provides
alert and industrious students an
opportunity to engage in coopera
tive virork programs sponsored by
the school and business commun
ity. These programs are Coopera
tive Office Occupations (C.O.O.)-
Distributive Education (D.E.), and
Industrial Cooperative Training
(I.C.T.).
Each student spends one hour
in related classroom instruction
and froifi 3 to 5 hours in super
vised occupation. As a result of
his instruction and labors, each
participant receives two units of
credit and a wage ranging from
$1.25 to $2.40 per hour.
After graduation, these stu
dents can enter full-time em
ployment or use the credits they
have earned as electives for col-
Ige entrance.
Says Lynn McDowell, who
works at the YMCA, “C.O.O. is
for girls on the go. Earn while
you learn and have fun. Our class
is like a family. We even have
dinner meetigs which are a blast!
C.O.O. teaches one how to dress,
act, and carry oneself gracefully.”
The C.O.O. Miss McDowell de
scribes is the Cooperative Office
Occupation program. This pro
gram is designed for seniors who
are interested in pursuing cleri
cal, secretarial, and business man
agement careers. Job application
techniques, grooming, personality,
filing, office equipment, and
money management are just a
few of the items covered in the
classroom phase and directly used
in the office training periods.
A few of the businesses in’
which the C.O.O. students work
are Blue Bell, Western Electric,
L. Richardson Hospital, Home De
tective Agency, YMCA, and Co
bum Finance Company.
The technical knowledge and
skills required by trade and tech-
nicaliy-inclined occupations are
provided by the I.C.T., or Indus
trial Cooperative Training Pro
gram, a vital part of GHS’s co
operative work program.
David Harris, a printer’s assist
ant at Deal Printing Company,
agrees; “I think that I.C.T. can
help students in many aspects.
It’s helped me in learning an oc
cupation that I really enojy. It
has given me a few dollars that
I can spend the way I want to
and experience in the world of
work.”
Topics frequently studied in
this course are procedures in get
ting a job, consumer economics,
industrial safety, and personality
and human relations.
Students involved in the Dis
tributive Education program (D.E.)
are trained to pursue retail,
wholesale, or service careers,
This includes sales, banking, real
estate, finance, transportation, ad
vertising, fashion, merchandising,
and many personal services.
Terri Bos, a student worker at
Lane’s Laundry, says “D.E. has
done a lot for me. Working has
given me responsibility and made
me grow up a little. I’ve learned
how to spend my money well.
Since it’s my money, I watch
what I buy and make sure I real
ly need it.”
Terri Bos, David Harris, and Lynn McDowell—future work
ing leaders of America.

Hark, Hark, The LARC!
“How did we ever get along
without it?” is a sure-fire ques
tion from the future, as GHS
English teachers begin to browse
in, ponder on, and utilize the
L.A.R.C.
Set up by Mrs. Hoffler and
Miss Joyner, English co-chairmen,
the Language Arts Resourse Cen
ter is a brand new addition to
the English department. It came
into being when the new English
program was designed
The center, next to room 410,
originally the HIGH LIFE room,
houses all the books used by the
English department. It also holds
filing cabinets, which store com
plete records on every student’s
English progress and sample com
positions, helping them, along
with faculty advisers, to choose
the right English course for each
semester.
A glance in the room shows
the organization that is impossi
ble in a central bookroom. All
the books are placed into new
shelves (made three weeks ago
by the maintenance crew), with
senior and junior materials on
one side and sophomore resources
on the other.
Where did the idea of L.A.
R.C. originate? The city adminis
tration decided every high school
should have one when the new
English curriculum was deter
mined. Now it should be easy for
a teacher to find any book he or
she needs, because all English
materials are arranged and every
book has been counted.
Since the new curriculum calls
for so many materials in one
given class, the organization of
the L.A.R.C. is really much more
beneficial to teachers than it
would seem.
The center could rightfully be
called “the English Bookroom,”
but unlike our original bookroom,
it will not be run by students. In
fact, students will not be allowed
to use it. It is strictly for teach
ers who need to get different ma
terials for classes.
Other facets of this room are
a new desk, received in the early
fall, and the promise of a new
typewriter. There is even a small
sectioin of “How To” books on
reserve for professional use by
teachers.
This new room promises to be
a “godsend” to teachers now ex
periencing their first months with
the new English curriculum.
