DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Trained Officers Secretar ’ for 1968 1969: •Treasurer. Sam Johnston, President; Anianda Ford, The grocery boy who carries out sack after sack of food, the ever-smiling waitress who attempts to make every meal a pleasure, the amiable salesman who always tries to please the customer—all these labels may be applied to the varied members of the Byrd Distributive Education program. Stu- dents participating in this organization receive on-the-job training and are skilled in such varied business activities as the retail, wholesale, and service-selling fields. D.E. students attend three classes a day and then proceed to their various vocations, where they spend the rest of the day “earning while they learn.” Activities opened to D.E. students are the Employer-Employee Banquet, the Faculty and Business- men’s coffees, and the state and national conventions. Spon- sored by Mrs. Alice Stravelemos, both juniors and seniors are eligible for membership and the chance to receive a place in the fascinating world of business early in life. Keeping all articles of rlothing in an attractive and orderly manner was only one of Amanda Ford’s many responsibilities at a downtown department store. Helpful service and a smiling face make any meal taste better. Mike Tartarilla took an order from a customer at a local restaurant.
