Coke to the Brave players in the
dugout.

Oscar Stokes
Stokes
in summer
workshop
Oscar Stokes Jr., who is a
participant in the summer
workshop at the University of
Georgia, Athens, comes from
the Griffin-Spalding County
School System. He is employed
as a W.E.P. (Work Experience
Program; coordinator.
The program has been in
operation since January, 1971,
and much progress has been
made in giving students an
opportunity to train for a
particular job of interest and
also to be compensated for the
work done.
After returning from the
workshop, Mr. Stokes hopes to
employ skills gained to further
benefit those in need of the
kinds of assistance offered by
the program. One of his major
goals is to try to interlock
academic skills with vocational
skills.
Mr. Stokes feels by working
very closely with the superin
tendent, principals, counselors,
the co-coordinator, and teacher,
the program can do the job that
is needed to give each student
an education that will give him
the necessary skills to live in
this ever-changing society.
