Mayor Vogt

Mayor G.A. Vogt added, "even
though the cost is relatively high,
the return to the community (in
taxes) has proven to more than
equal the cost of educating" future
employees.

Mr. Mitchie envisions a 12-area
facility in which 11 trades will be
taught, leaving one area vacant for
special needs of the community or
of local industry, should they come
up. He added that the center
planned to serve 300 students; 150
would work at the center in the
morning, 150 in the afternoon.
When not studying at the center the
students will return to their own
high schools for academic work.
