The Grade 12 electricity student is spending a week with the utility as part of his regu ar curriculum, (staff -photo) Students take place in Probably one of the least known activities of the students of G.D.C.I. is the work ex- perience week. Each fall and spring senior students enrolled in the technical programme are excused from their regular class routine to take their place in the local work force. .These 'field trips' last for one full working week. This week, 46 grade 12 students who are enrolled in the four areas of technical achievement, woodworking, drafting, automotive technology and electrical technology, are now experiencing the routine of daily employment., The school /gratefurlly acknowledges . the co-operation from local merchants, dealers, shops and industries. who take time out from their busy schedules to make this ex- perience a meaningful one far the students. ' This program gives the student, an opportunity to escape the somewhat artificial atmospheric' of the school shop and see what the real world is actually like. The employer' can take the op por.tunity to assess in his own' 'mind _.jAfA the student's school cure ulu n contains the elements of the type of training which may prove to he of value when and if the time comes for , the graduating student to take his place in industry. This„ year there is a 'first' in the work' experience week. A local contractor is 'taking two wood- working students -to a job site in industry Sarnia. These boys will be sup',. plied with room and hoard while in the city. This is the first time that any student has hecn taken out of town for the whole period of his work experience since the .program originatec1- Students, do not receive any remuneration . from employers during the, work week and the Huron board of education carries special insurance to protect the legal responsibilities of bothn employer and student. As with any school endeavor there is a definite goal in sight in con- nection with '- this. week. Employers are asked to submit an assessment form after the completion of the week so that the school may assess the relevency of the course that the 'student is. taking. The citizens of Goderich should he proud of the fact that they live in acommunity where the spirit of co-operation 'between the board of education, the school faculty and local businessmen is ' • such that a program of this nature is possible. .Healthy growth of any community dep- ends upon the co-operation and participation of many groups. Civic pride is engendered by awareness of what is going on in all areas of the community and the work week integrates the educational system With the business section, youth with the adult, and lays the foundation for the future absorption of our graduates' " into a healthy, prosperous community. 1rs. blank Wingbam 14-0 but game wasn't Viking best by T.D. The GDCI junior' Vikings won their second straight Huron - Perth Conference football game here last Thursday by shutting out F.E. Madill of,Wingham by a 14-0 count. Mark Frayne went 10 yards off - tackle to give the Vikings the lead in the first quarter, capping off runs of 30 yards and 10 yards on two , previous plays by the big Vika rfullback. The other Viking touch down came when flanker Dennis Donnelly went 25 yards on a pass and run play from quarterback Dave MacKenzie in the third quarter. Eric Mitchell kicked both converts successfully. Another' if'rapparent Viking touchdown oVi a 40y'rard run by Tom O'Keeie'wk�s, called back on a penalty inftactrian. Although the Vikings were able to put it together enough to, score when the chances came, and to stop the Wingham offence, it was not a particularly im- . pressiye game from the Viking's' point of view, Coach • Phil Bugler talked of fundamental ,errors that forced the Vikings into giving up,the ball and losing good field position. Not the least of the' Viking's problems, however, seemed to,be a certain amount of confusion as to what players were on what specialty teams and at what positions, The resulting confusion took away from the cohesiveness of the Viking's,tcam play at rimes, Such are" the early -season problems of junior football coaches, ' Next start for the junior Vikings is today CThursday' in Stratford against- the Nor- thwestern Huskies, when coach Bugler and his assistant, Bil Garrow, take their squad'i'n ues • of their third straight victory. ototoommormosoP KS wN PODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, T JRSDAY, OCTOBER 1975 --AGE 3 Peter Erskine gives ohe of Jim Hat'ter's mechanics a hand taking the dashboard out of a car to., replace some defective radio equipment.
