Seventh-graders Visit
Author Paul E. Quimby
After reading Yankee on the
Yangtze, Redwood Junior Acad-
emy's seventh erade class could
hardly wait to go to nearby
Angwin to meet the book's au-
thor, Elder Paul Quimby.
Recently they did just that
and were treated to a two-hour
meeting with Elder and Mrs.
Quimby.
The Quimbys were asked to
go to China as missionaries
several decades ago and after
Chiang Kai-shek took over
China's government, he invited
Elder Quimby to renovate and
take charge of China's educa-
tional system.
The Quimbys showed the stu-
dents many items they brought
back from China as well as re-
lating many stories including
Elder Quimby’s miraculous es-
cape from Nanking during the
revolution and Communist pur-
suit.
Field trips such as this are
an added dimension available
through Christian education.

As we contemplate our Christmas gift list for this year,
let us all include Leoni Meadows. Because of the nature of
what Leoni Meadows is going to be, a gift at this time and
on a regular systematic basis will have far-reaching effects
that will last for eternity. Remember, December 31 is Leoni

Students Gain Work Experience
PUC Preparatory School is
offering its students a broader
opportunity in work experience
education this year than ever
before.
The Work Experience Educa-
tion Program (WEEP), direct-
ed by Valerie Halliwell-Smith,
is being offered as an elective.
Designed to introduce students
to the realities and problems of
the working world, the program
will provide them with oppor-
tunities to sample different ca-
reer areas.
Students may elect either a
general or exploratory phase.
Within the framework of Gen-
eral WEE, a student finds his
own job and completes a con-
tract signed by his parents, the
employer, himself and the
WEEP coordinator. The em-
ployer and school coordinator
then work together to evalu-
ate the student's ‘hands-on’
NAJA Receives a "Face Lift"
Napa Adventist Junior Acad-
emy (NAJA) has been receiv-
ing a ‘face-lift’ over the past
18 months.
Each school room has been
freshly painted. A tiered libra-
ry has been built by ninth grade
boys under the new school work
program last year. Present em-
phasis is on the new addition
to the maintenance building
where a more effective work-
shop can he utilized.
At the request of Principal
Michael Solazzo, an eight-hour
in-service Red Cross Multi-me-
dia Basic First Aid Course was
taught on Sunday, October 9,
by First Aid Instructor Fredi
Ray Jones and School Nurse
Arlene Fabiani.
This instruction was given to
teachers, staff and other adults
at NAJA, for which they re-
ceived certificates. All faculty
and staff are now certified for
three years in basic first aid,
with the exception of two ab-
sent faculty members who com-
pleted the course on December
4.
There 1s a renewed spiritual
emphasis at NAJA. Registra-
tion is up, and the school is
proud of its new Jook and ac-
complishments.
Students of Napa Junior Academy enjoy relaxed reading at the
tiered library.
experience and progress.
Five semester hours of school
credit may be earned for every
90 hours of employment per
semester. The student thus re-
celves the two-fold benefit of
pay plus school credit. Current-
ly 65 students are enrolled in
General WEE.
Exploratory WEE, as the
name implies, permits a student
to explore different career op-
tions under the supervision of
the WEEP coordinator as well
as a job supervisor. Fifteen
students are presently enrolled
in exploratory WEEP.
Students may select from
nine professional work stations
and/or from 28 vocational work
stations. A student spends nine
five-hour weeks at the voca-
tional work stations. Each stu-
dent’s program is individually
designed to meet his interests.
The vocational options in ex-
ploratory are quite varied. In-
cluded are poultry, creamery,
calf-feeding, press, bindery,
bookstore, hardware, food ser-
vices (salads, cookery, bakery),
dry cleaners, grounds, merchan-
dising (cashier, stock, office
work, natural foods and pro-
duce), radio broadcasting, laun-
dry, carpentry and electrical.
The professional work sta-
tions include pastoral duties,
college teaching, elementary
school teaching, tutoring, li-
brary work, dental office, com-
puter science, audiovisual and
accounting.
While about 40 per cent of
Prep students are presently en-
rolled in either phase of WEEP,
it is believed that the program
will build to include a higher
per cent next year. Beginning
with the 1978-79 freshman
class, students will be required
to earn 10 semester hours of
credit in WEEP for graduation.
