Vocal education week is Feb. 12-18
Vocational Technical Education is education for a career, and that’s important — whether one plans to go to work after high school, after one or more years of college, after an associate degree or even a bachelor degree A vocational course adds a new dimension to learning — “handson" in addition to "eyes-on." This is an advantage to many students.

Most vocational programs leave time to also include all of the academic subjects needed to meet the entrance requirements of colleges and universities. Nationwide, 50 percent of all those who begin a four-year college program never complete it with 25 percent leaving the school or flunking out the first year. Vocational programs are a valuable addition to — not a substitute for
— academic education. At Wawasee High School there are many outstanding vocational opportunities. There are classes in Auto Mechanics T and 11, where students actually work on automobiles; and Building Trades I and II where the students build a house during the school year. During the current school year, they are building two duplex houses There is also an Ag Power or Mechanics class. This program is designed to prepare students as tractor and diesel mechanics. In the Ag Placement program, students are released from school to work on an approved farm or in an approved ag-related business. business area, there are two programs.

Accomplishing goals
By KAREN S. LOWRY Extension Agent 4-H and Youth
One of the greatest, satisfactions in working with young people is seeing them set goals and then accomplish them. Eighteen Kosciusko County 4-H members accomplished their goal of completing an achievement record book. I commend these 18 4-H members for the time and effort they dedicated to their achievement record books. Each one of them is a winner because of the experience they gained while compiling their record book. I was pleased that we had nine books entered in the junior category and nine books also entered in the senior category. The nine 4-Hers completing junior record books were Deanna Burch, Debby Burch, Michele Demske, Andy Shepherd, Jason Shepherd, Janelie Sommers, Kelly Strang, Lisa Strang and Christy Warren. The honor group for junior record books was Deanna Burch, Jason Shepherd, Janelle Sommers, Lisa Strang and Christy Warren. The junior honor group members received 4-H merchandise for their accomplishments. The eight 4-Hers completing senior record books were Darren Kline in sheep, Duane Kline in sheep, Shawn Krull in plant and soil science, Trent Long in foods, Jill Sommers in beef, Andi Stroup in forestry and wildlife, Janet Studebaker in dairy and Dawn Truex in swine. The honor group for senior record books was Duane Kline, Shawn Krull, Trent Long, Jill Sommers and Andi Stroup. Each 4-H member in the senior honor group received a SSO. savings bond. The achievement record books of Duane Kline, Shawn Krull, Trent Long, Jill Sommers, Andi Stroup and Janet Studebaker will advance for state competition. Dawn Burch will also be competing at the state level in the REMC Achievement category. Another recent competition that was held during Indiana 4-H Week was the window display contest. It was fantastic to have
B ■ * L - “’S f * jrß Ai '■ • '0 KAREN S. LOWRY eleven 4-H clubs entered in the window display contest. The 4-H clubs that entered the contest were American Guys and Gals, Atwood Victory and Neverquitters, Beaver Dam Better 4-Hers, Claypool Classics, Lake City Lassies and Lads, Monroe GoGetters, Pierceton Hayseeds, Scott Township Victors, Silver Lake Rambling Farmers, Silver Lake Tatapocheon and Syracuse Community Hands. The winning window displays were American Guys and Gals in first, Pierceton Hayseeds in second, and Claypool Classics and Scott Township Victors tied for third. Thanks for taking the time to promote 4-H. Let’s keep the momentum going though 1989.
