Luther F. Hackett of South Burlington will direct the 1974 Vermont Easter Seal Campaign from March 1 to April 14 to benefit the Children’s Rehabilitation Center of the Vermont Association for the Crippled. He leads 300 volunteers with state coordinators Mrs. Roger Whitcomb and Mrs. Michael Powers. A new window sticker replaces mailed stamps, and Bennington County town leaders and volunteers across the state organize support efforts.
Mt Anthony Union High School runs health occupations and related programs at Putnam Memorial Hospital to guide career choices. The health occupations course is two years for juniors and seniors, with seniors spending weeks in hospital departments and juniors mainly in class. Students are screened for seriousness and most proceed to further study or careers in health care.
The Bennington and Mt. Anthony programs connect high school students with hospital work, offering 400 hour contracts and daily duties in labs, dietary, linen and maintenance. Candy Stripers and junior aides gain hospital exposure through a five week summer course plus on floor supervised work. Other community projects include DUO student projects and a bird sanctuary built by vocational students. The aim is hands on experience guiding career decisions and future studies.
