A common reaction upon returning home was: "Didn't you go to San Diego, visit Los Angeles, go up the coast, travel down the coast, visit Yosemlte, or go to Tijuana.

Just a few years ago we lost one of our finest high school principals because a disgruntled, very vocal group carried on a persecution campaign against him and against him family, until the pressure became unbearable. And why? Simply because he supported a coach who was attempting to maintain discipline among his players. Case for Salable Skills By Sam Gordon, Director Vocational Education High, .schools today must avoid guildihg graduates and dropouts into rejection, despair, and defeat. Lack of vocational competence and some preparedness for a meaningful job :can do this! Too often high schools are guilty of this vocational training neglect. We can do something about it! Any individual who finishes high school today without a salable skill is handicapped educationally and vocationally. Two basic objectives for high schools exist, and both . should be attained. First, a salable skill; second, the meeting of college entrance requirements, if possible scholastically. The future demands occupational preparedness for both men and women. A major trend in vocational work force today is the rapid entry of women. Today, 30 million women are numbered in the work force. Two of every five women, 20 to 65 years of age, are gainfully employed outside the home. The United States today has about 90 million individuals in our work force only 5 percent of d are ;whom are unskilled. this fractional women, and part of will the total grow in the years One-thir- ahead. Whats concentrate upon giving students in our charge a salable skill; then and hopefully concurrently, we provide the college entrance requirements; and thirdly, we encourage leisure time interests and skills. Of each ten high school students two today, four begin college some will have finish, four vocational training, six will not. A college dropout can be as bereft of occupational skills as his high school dropout counterpart. Research tells us that all of the knowledge garnered on this planet from the beginning of time to the year i960, had doubled and redoubled by the year 1970. Another change detail: 70 percent of the things you will buy in 1985 have not yet been developed. BOX ELDER County School district has made many significant efforts to meet the challenge. Classes have been added to the offering to allow students to explore areas of interest, while other opportunities add depth to the learning experiences. The latest harrangue against the schools, Box Elder High school in particular, does not call for any constructive effort to upgrade scholarship, high moral values, or school spirit, but rather seeks to sabotage all efforts by the faculty and administration to conduct a school have these ideals. What great crime against the students have the school officials perpetrated this time? They have simply asked that the students conform to a a very liberal one, by the way dress code that was established by the board of education. Basically, this dress code simply requests each student to attend school as a neatly-dresseindividual. Most students support and conform to this reasonable request. Many of the few who do not, and who come to school in defiance of the code, and in defiance of most other rules, do so largely because of the attitude of certain adults in our community who are dedicated to the hamstringing of our educational institutions. They encourage defiance of those very rules which make for order, and with which, chaos would rule. Yes, it is time for action! Time to rise up and speak against those who would abandon all rules; who would bring about a steady d, well-groom- ed degraduation and eventual training program wmcn allows students to spend multiple class work periods at work under the They assignments. close supervision of a capable tradesman where he or she may training to acquire the real become acceptable in a trade. in-dep- th most suitable for mature women ticularly in occupational office education becomes security.

Weve been paying high property taxes for years with the assumption that they paid for education. However, this county has many other methods of getting it. Box Elder has received federal funds for years for children whose parents work for the government or a government contractor. This was supposed to be given in areas which are impacted by government workers. I question whether this is factual now since these people for the most part are also property taxpayers. Certainly the students or parents of students for whom the federal funds are received get no particular nor individual benefit. And whatever happened to the price control program when it comes to bodes? Some bodes at Box Elder this year cost as much as college textbooks. Not only that, but the students are informed, after paying a high price for a bode, that it will be discontinued at the end of the year so not to plan on turning it in for money. But they are told to give the books to the teachers so they can use them in future classes.
