PMQ o*l ■ Hv tfIUVJWI lU> participate in Career Day For three hours Wednesday, Nov. 9, every classroom at Perry High School was filled with substi tute teachers. But, instead of teach ing reading, writing and arithmetic, these “teachers” talked about being doctors, lawyers, chefs and plumbers. From fanners to bankers and engineers to athletes, more than 60 people from the Perry community came and addressed students during Career Awareness Day. “The biggest challenge we face is to prepare these young people for successful careers,” senior coun selor Hazel Jackson said. “There is no better way to expose students to career options than to bring busi ness and community leaders, ex perts in their fields, together to talk with our students.” Every student attended four 45- minute sessions, each hosted by a different presenter. Presenters dis cussed such issues as job and educa tional requirements, future trends and the nature of their jobs. Fol lowing each presentation, students were able to ask questions and talk with the presenters. Presenters included local doctors, lawyers, farmers, nurses, pho tographeers, technicians, and repre sentatives from civic organizations such as the Rotary Club. One of the more well-known visitors was WMAZ-TV, Channel 13 weather man, Bill Powell. Jackson, the organizer ot today’s event, added, “Our greatest resource in America is our youth.
