3 Programs Offered
In Vocational Area
BY BEVERLY THOMAS
A student at GHS has three
types of vocational training
from which to choose. For those
seeking to learn a job dealing
with industry or trade or a ser
vice occupation, there is DCT
(Diversified Co-Operative
Training). The DE (Distri
butive Education) program
appeals to those interested in
retailing and sales work. The
VOT (Vocational Office
Training) teaches office and
clerical workers.
The three courses offered, al
though different in several
aspects, all have certain basic
requirements. The program is
open to juniors and seniors.
Primarily, it is a two year
course so that juniors wishing to
enroll have priority over
seniors.
The students involved must
be at least 16 years old. After
the school term begins,
vocational training participants
must work a minimum of 15

hours per week.
It is a popular misconception
among students interested in
the program that one re
quirement for enrollment is that
they already hold jobs. Quite
the contrary is true. One of the
responsibilities of the co
ordinators is to line up jobs and
assist students in obtaining suit
able employment.
There is some variance in the
VOT regulations in this respect.
In addition, VOT applicants
must have at least a C plus
average and must have a
minimum of two business
courses.
All participants in the Co-Op
Program, as it is called at GHS,
must attend 4 hours of class
each day, getting out for two
hours of work. One of these
hours of class is spent in a
vocational training classroom.
Classroom study is separated
into two divisions, general
related and directly related. In
the general related study, all
students do work in such areas
as employer-employee rela
tions, history of the program,
income tax reports, and Social
Security benefits. In the second
area, students have individual
study in their particular lines
of work.
Presently at GHS, there are
some 140 students enrolled in a
vocational training course. In
the DCT program alone, the 66
students involved have earned
approximately $50,000 since the
school year began in Sep
tember. The objective of the
program is not, however, to
earn money, but to prepare the
student for his life after
graduation.
There are three teacher-co
ordinators in charge of the
individual courses. Mr. Lemuel
Watkins is the DCT instructor
and co-ordinator of Griffin
High’s overall Co-Op program.
Mr. James Merritt is the DE co
ordinator; the VOT co-ordinator
iss Miss Georgia McCrary.
There is a club affiliated with
each of the vocational training
programs. The DE course is
associated with DECA (Distri
butive Education Clubs of
America); VOT with FBLA
(Future Business Leaders of
America); and DCT with VICA
(Vocational Industry Clubs of
America).
GHS has much to boast about
these three clubs. Last year, the
Griffin chapter of VICA was
named the outstanding club in
the state. VICA was chartered
in 1962. Griffin provided the
national president, Tommy
Snider, that year. In 1967,
Tommy Greer, the national
parliamentarian, came from
Griffin.

currently state president of the
organization. Five other state
officials have come from GHS.
The Co-Op program has been
a success at Griffin High. Any
program such as this requires
cooperation from the business
community. The vocational
training courses in Griffin owe
their successs to this co
operation; on the part of the
community, the school, the in
structors, and the students
themsleves.
Good luck to the GHS Eagles
in their basketball games!

“Drug Emphasis Week” was
observed last week at Spalding.
On Tuesday, Jan. 13, Officer
Homer Williams, Griffin’s Ju
venile Officer, spoke to the
science and helath classes of
Mr. Mark Phinazee, Mrs. Nina
Jones, Miss Carolyn Williams,
and Mrs. Jean Ralston. After
Officer Williams’ discussion of
the different types of drugs and
their effects on the human body,
he showed slides of the different
drugs. He said that the “Griffin
kids are too smart to take
drugs.”
This year the Kiwanis Club
has “Operation Drug Alert” as
its project. On Friday they
sponsored the chapel program
which included a visit by a
panel of six student phar
macists from the School of
Pharmacy in Atlanta. There
was a panel discussion of drugs
by the pharmacists and then all
of the students divided into
three groups for questions and
answers.
The devotional for the
program was presented by
Thomas Lunsford, Floyd
Newton, and Hugh Sullins.
There will be no holiday for
students tomorrow as was
formerly planned because of the
time they had off last week for
bad weather.
Several members of
Spalding’s Mixed Chorus sang
at the First Christian Church in
Griffin last Sunday. These
students are Ann Shockley,
Cynthia Howell, Sherry Martin,
Laßae Martin, Pam Stansell,
Debbie McSwain, Czrol Prince,
and Melba Dunn. They were
accompanied by Patti Bass, a
member of the ninth grade and
accompanist for the glee club.
Pelican as a Symbol
In religious symbolism,
the pelican represents the
Body and Blood of Christ,
and of His atoning sacrifice,
because it was popularly be
lieved to feed its young with
its blood.
On a Bird’s Wing
The wing of a bird sustains
flight because it acts some
what like an oar and a car
rier at the same time. The
wing pushes back the air
with its wide surface, then
glides forward with the least
possible resistance.
Traveler’s Tree
The traveler’s tree is a
close relative of the banana
tree in Malagasy. The tree
collects good drinking water
in a pocket at the base of
each leaf stem. Travelers
puncture this stem close to
the trunk and out spurts the
water.
