VICAfNHSfGA's Student goes to state Vocational Industrial Clubs of America QVICAJ is a student orga- nization open to all students in voca- tional training, according to Marv Kunz. Vica students worked hard to meet goals, but they were rarely rec- ognized. Students had a chance to get involved with club activities, work on an achievement program, and to be a part of a team. The big event of the year was the two day conference at Lane Commu- nity College in Eugene, they listened to several speakers on different sub- jects and witnessed a few demonstra- tions on topics such as Ultra Light, West Linn Pick Up and others. The main purpose, however, was to com- pete against 42 other Oregon highs- chools in vocational areas like auto, architectural drafting, cabintry, car- pentry, electrical trades, commercial art, and other such areas. Jim Duncan and Somchai Rijken both competed in architectural Drafting, although doing well, neither one of them placed. In the Industrial Electronics area, Greg Stein received third place. Rob Theodorson, who took first place in carpentry went on to the national finals to represent Oregon in Louis- ville Kentucky and then to Washing- ton D.C. Rob joined about five thousand other students in the nation competi- tion that took many hours of hard work, the actual competition lasted about six hours. Anyone who placed first in the national represented the U.S. in the international competition. To raise money for his trip, Rob spent endless hours on a cabinet made for the whole student body of Beaverton. Previously, Beaverton has done well in both state and national compe- titions especially in the area of cabin- etry. The members from Beaverton tended to be promising, but the main problem was that many skilled stu- dents were not aware of the Vica pro- gram. The valuable experiences of the Vica program proved beneficial to fu- ture employers. 120 VICAfNHSfGA's National Honor Society QNHSJ was made up of a group of students recognized for their achievements in school academics. A grade point aver- age of a 3.67 and three teacher recom- mendations was required for accep- tance. Qualifying students received a letter from advisor Bernie Bonn dur- ing the second semester of their junior year. At the graduation ceremony, NHS members got recognition by wearing gold tassels which seperated them from the rest of the graduating seniors. To earn money, members sold con- cessions at basketball and football games. In addition, students sold but- tons to support Beaverton athletic teams. The major event of the year was a year-end banquet held in the school cafeteria. The president for 1983-84 was Am- ber Gehrke, and the advisor was Ber- nie Bonn. The Guardian Angels got off to a good start but, due to the lack of students, could only last throughout the football season. In previous years, each GA was assigned one athlete to encourage and cheer on during the season. This year the guardian angels elected to do things as a group, and they gave the football team treats and posters as a whole.
