The students of Wilson High School that are attending the
Bucks Technical School are receiving the best of both types
of education. They participate in regular academic subjects
for the two weeks they are at Wilson, while at Tech they are
involved in any one of 40 different occupational skill areas.
Students receive a thorough education in the fundamental
skills of their chosen trade areas and many are directly
employed before graduation. Others, who chose, are accept­
ed in schools of higher education to further their skills
before entering the world of work. Truly in this age of
technology, the words of Ben Franklin who said, "He who
hath a trade-Hath an estate" are worth remembering.

Bucks County Tech School is beginning to become a famil­
iar name ringing through the halls of Wilson. Its goals are
set to create a better understanding of how it really is work­ Round and round we go — where it stops nobody knows.

leaves their opportunity at employment increases with a
higher percentile than that of a full time student because the
trend in the work field is following to more skilled laborers
than college degrees. Attempting to set job surroundings as
the students go about their work day is natural practice for
the teacher and student or administrator and student is like
that of an employer-employee relationship. This gives the
students an actual feeling of being "on-the-job". The oppor­
tunities are boundless with the opening of new fields and
the widespread use of technology being used in everyday
life. The Tech School is expanding the opportunities to the
students by opening new classes and updating the equip­
ment that is used in all the classes.
