We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Dr. Jerome Botwinick, senior high school principal, examines a printing press with Steve Hayes, a student operator and member of the student industrial program.
The personnel of the Communications Center consists of a director, a full time printer, audiovisual technician, and a secretary. In addition to these permanent members of the department, student apprentices are used— eight in the morning and seven in the afternoon. This letter project is called an Industrial Cooperative Program and the Communications Department is looked upon as a factory. The students have working papers and are paid the minimum wage of $1.00 per hour. They work as apprentices for the nonteaching personnel. The state education department has approved the project as a course with credit for the students, and Plainview-Old Bethpage is the first school district in the state to
have an on-the-job training program of this nature, utilizing the facihties of the high school. In addition to the usual printed work that is necessary in a school system, the department, by its very nature, encourages the production of teacher-made material. At present the department is working on a textbook for the 7th grade Citizenship Education Department on the history and pohtical structure of the township. Teachers also have an opportunity to rewrite material for their classes to bring it to the level of some of the slower students. Other projects are newspapers for all the buildings, hterary magazines for the senior and junior high school, and other magazines, even on a one-class basis.
