operation. The approximately
30 young people will be divided
irto two shifts for the 9 am. to
g pm. store day. One extra
hour has been added by the
management to the normal H.
hour day in the hope that sales
will exceed those of the same
day last year.
Arrangements for this on-the-
job experience are under the
supervision of William Homick,
distributive education teacher,
and Roland Ward, diversified
occupations instructor. The
plans began a few weeks back
when Mr.. Homick, shopping in
the store, met one of the Grant
supervisors, who happened to be
a former distributive education
teacher in Atlanta, where he
had arranged a similar pro-
gram. Anthony Cavalaro, the
manager of the Rockville store,
was glad to cooperate in put
ting the plan into operation
locally.
The students will assume the
roles of president, vice presi-
dent, floor walkers, cashiers,
sales people and fountain clerks.
incidentally, the regular foun-
tain manager of the store is a
diversified occupations grad
uate of Gaithersburg High
School, Class of 1860.
The whole undertaking is a
part of Careers in Retailing
Week. We feel that Mr.. Cava-
laro has certainly given vote
of confidence to the local high
school students and faculty,
and we heartily urge our towns
people to drop in to see the pro-
gram in operation.
