While many Summit High School students spend their days looking forward to math, science or writing classes, other students find themselves excited to work in a kitchen at school.
ProStart, a career and technical education program at the high school, prepares students for a career in the world of food service and hospitality management. The program is run by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation in almost 2,000 high schools across the country.
Terri Vantiger has taught the program at the high school for more than 20 years.
“ProStart is basically an industry-level course where students can come in and they earn a variety of certifications, and they go out into the restaurants and hospitality industry and are mentored by the professionals out there and work alongside the chefs and in the industry,” Vantiger said.
Doris Day’s First Romantic Musical Films
St. Valentine’s Day is over, but the coming of spring always foretells the coming of love! Nothing pairs better with leftover Valentine candy than classic romantic films. The Golden Era of Hollywood developed some of the most iconic love stories, like “Casablanca” (1942) and “Gone with the Wind” (1939). However, not all classic romances are epic dramas. Some of the most endearing are lighthearted tales of love, music, and laughter.
Such are Doris Day’s first two films, “Romance on the High Seas” (1948) and “My Dream Is Yours” (1949). These two Warner Bros. musicals established the pretty blonde and popular singer as a movie star and a Hollywood personality.
