Machine Apprentice Program This fall, MCC is offering an expanded program of classes for machine apprentices.

Upon completion of the four-year ' program in conjunction with on-the-job training, the students are eligible to receive certificates as journeymen tool and die makers, or mold makers from the U.S. depart­ ment of labor. The expansion of the program includes adding a new course, "training the trainer," which will help those who complete the program to train other apprentices in their companies. Other classes which have been added to the program, are materials of industry, metallurgy, machine design, strength of materials, in­ dustrial organization, super­ visory responsibility, and in­ dustrial Safety management. Law And The Secretary Legal secretaries and medical secretaries are in demand fn McHenry .county. The need for trained persons to fill those jobs has led MCC to begin two new programs to train students for the jobs that are available. Titled "Law and the Secretary I", the course is open to anyone interested in becoming a legal secretary who has appropriate typing skills. The class can be taken by people who already are working as secretaries, or it can be taken as part of a complete curriculum to obtain an associate degree as a legal secretary. The course for medical secretaries and transcribers will cover medical terminology that secretaries will encounter in transcribing from a physician's dictating machine. The class covers physical examinations, medical correspondence, and x-ray or pathological reports. The information covered in the classes is applicable not only to work for a physician, but also work in nursing, dentistry, public health, - and veterinary medicine. Back-To-School Coarse For Women - Two courses have been of­ fered at MCC this fall designed specifically for the returning woman student. Back-to-school composition for women and individualized mathematics study for women are both of­ fered for the purpose of helping women to meet the demands of the college environment. Readings, writing, and class discussions are usually on the topic of women and how they perceive themselves. Chemistry For the first time in its history, MCC is , offering elementary chemistry and organic chemistry as part of its class schedule.

Nursing students will be required to take an elementary ..chemistry course and will find this class takes care of the requirement. The organic chemistry class is aimed both at science majors and persons working in in­ dustry who have completed a year of college chemistry, and want to improve their science background. Math changes Changes in'7 the math curriculum at MCC are ex­ pected within two years. Hie changes' included combining college algebra and trigonometry into one course, *nd combining analytic -geometry - with calculus classes.

In addition to the higher level math courses, the college also offers elements of mathematics and technical mathematics for students who need basic courses. "Don't be afraid to take a big step. You can't cross a chasm .. in two small jumps." -David Lloyd George (Continued from page 14) starting with the most basic coordination skills, -such as walking a balance beam. Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students take gym at John- sburg junior high. St. John's Athletic association initiated the program, provides the materials and equipment, and recruits and trains the volunteer help. "* Besides physical education, children in grades 4 through 8 have an opportunity to join the athletic program. Basketball, volleyball, and softball programs are offered outside of school hours, and are super­ vised and sponsored by the Athletic association. St. John's alio has an unique project continuing this year, which involves the collection of labels from soup cans. The labels will be redeemed for the purchase of audio-visual equipment for the school. Included in the curriculum with reading, language arts, , science, math, etc. is a program in art. The school recognizes that hot all children will develop at the same rate, and have the same ability in art. Teachers % are urged to recognize art as vital to the child's life, and not merely play for the children. St. John's ConfirmattOnal program is, by request of the Bishop, reserved for the high school years.
