INITIATIVE IMPORTANT Her Worship, Mayor Christine Thomas, attended opening cere- monies at, OCVI, Monday after- noon and addressed a large number of students who have been accepted into the program 1s program will run into May when it is thought that better chances of employment will be available He stressed the importance of the students concentrating only on the course they are taking and not to have a steady job at the same time. Mr. Roberts warned that the student should not waste his or her time on a subject which is not appealing to the individual; but to either switch to another course or try to find suitable employment Twenty persons to a class ing course remarked that a certain degree of academic training will also be applied to jthe courses but each subject will tie in with the basis of the principle course. In stressing the importance of returning to school to become better informed in vocations, Mr. Roberts remarked on how many men and women have returned to day school because their education lacked the quali- fications to acquire a good position in any field of employ- ment, He mentioned one case Her Worship said that the io a person returned to success of this system depends te on the students themselvy < The School after 25 years. future of having good jobs will Mr. Roberts said that allow- depend, in large measure, on the ances will be granted by the achievements made by the end government for persons who are of the 24-week course. unable to pay the required sum) will be maintained at the school except for the commercial class where there are favilities for 30, Less than 40 of the enrolled students are girls and although a total of 150 persons have en- rolled, about 50 are still on the waiting list.
