This means a fatal end to many enjoyable evenings of tele vision viewing. Time is running out for those students who have waited so long to make up that last test, or get in that missed assignment.

Job Training Aids Students By CHARLES JARRETT "Distributive education trains students and serves the public," pointed out Mr. John Lake, instruc tor of retail selling, Room 204. There are ' forty-five students participating in a vocational train ing program operating through state and local school systems to provide specialized education for those persons entering or already employed in retail, wholesale and service occupations. Actually, re tail selling as it is called in this high school, is the same thing as distributive education. D. E. trained workers are on the job in thousands of retail stores and busi nesses, large and small, in towns and cities of the nation. Retail selling trains at the high school level, through a combina- mm Published weekly during school by the Journalism class of Klamath Union High School Editor-in-ehisr -.

Unaer I lion of classroom instruction and Btium supervised worn CApci iciilc in distributive occupations. Per haps you have noticed the display window next to Room 204 which is carefully and well designed by Mr. Lake's class. Retail selling serves t h e mer chant and the wholesalers. Helps meet the need for trained person nel, decreases initial costs, lowers turnover, improves job satisfaction, job performance, and morale of workers through inservice training. This training also helps the man ufacturer. Distributive education builds business by improving point-of-sales service and provides bet ter trained salespeople to promote this product in any kind of store where it may be sold. Distributive education affords opportunity to acquire special in formation and skills to improve job performance and prepare for in creased responsibility, therefore helping the employer. Then, too, retail selling serves the student by supplementing his basic educational background by specialized and on-the-job training in his chosen occupation; provides a chance to earn while he learns, and permits him to enter the full time labor market as a trained, experienced worker. Because of congestion of school phones, students are asked to use the public telephone in the hall for personal calls. Bulletin Board By SANDRA BURNEY One of the many items that draws student interest is the of fice bulletin board. Mr. Paul Ang stead, assistant principal of Klam ath Union High School, is in charge of keeping the bulletin board up to date.

Dues for this club are 50 cents a year and the members may also order pins if they wish. This club's main money-making project is serving at the faculty meetings. Halloween's History Told By MARIE ARNOLD Who would think that Halloween, a time of spooks and witchcraft, originated in a Christian religious ceremony! Yet that is just what happened. The ancient Romans observed Feralia, a day set apart for pray ing for the martyrs who had died for some noble cause of religion or country. Probably here is the source of superstitions concerning spirits and ghosts since it so defi nitely concerns the dead. When the Romans discovered the "misty isle" of Britain, the Cells, a pagan people, inhabited it. Sam hain, meaning summer's end, was a very important festival, for through this the Celtic tribes wit nessed a formal end of the harvest season. All Hallows was the new name that Rome gave Feralia. All Hal low Eve, the evening before, fell on the same day as the old Celtic Samhain. As can be expected, since the two ceremonies were celebrated simultaneously, they in termingled and today it is honored as Halloween. In Ireland the fairies are the dominate symbol. Europe is beset by witches, and what a gruesome and intriguing atmosphere they bring forth! Exodus 22:18 reads, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." From this holy excerpt comes the most pagan belief which existed for cen turies. This quotation was plucked from Its context and background and man added his invalid mean ing so that it became the death sentence for many. The modern version of Halloween is rollicking fun, superstitious spells, and eerie games. Yet a his tory as ancient as Rome is be hind this day which we so gaily celebrate. ! 77 v.vrp At Your Service Yfrth ...
