TRIVING FOR TOMORROW One may ask, “What is DECA?” It is Distributive Education Clubs of America. One would think it would stop there, yet there is much more to this club than meets the eye. DECA is an organization that prepares students for the future. “We want to make the students employable, self-sufficient, whether they have a degree or not, said sponsor Islla Rivera. One of the students added , “It helped me decide what I want to do with my life when I get out of col- lege,” Lee Whitus. DECA II was involved in many projects, this year. One of these was the student involvement in DECA II First Row: Lee Love, Norma Hernandez, Elysc Tvorik, Blanca Martinez, Chad Moore.

Not only in the classroom, but at our jobs as well.” This was the first time since the 1970’s that this event had taken place in El Paso. The conference was held February 5th and 6th of this year. In addition to the exciting events that DECA II has been a part of, there was the take over of the school store. Among the things sold were t-shirts, school supplies, and novelty items. Though DECA II is a seperate club from DECA, Mrs. Rivera quotes, “We arc getting our students involved together.” P. Curtis and T. Linguist Lcla Whitus and Jason Ware take part in the joint fashion show.

 THE JOB Vocational Office Education teaches junior and senior students office skills that can be used later on in their careers. The club is centered around the Office Educa- tion Association class. The Office Education Associa- tion class offers students an added edge by giving the students jobs which need office skills. During the year the OEA class teaches stu- dents skills which can be used in office jobs, some of the skills lcarmed are basic skills learned in regular classes like typing and writing, some other skills are fil- ing procedures, record keeping , and operation of machines such as calculators, and computers. The juniors have one class dur- ing the day and the seniors go to school only half day and then go to their jobs. Most of the jobs that the students have after lunch arc jobs that have to do with working in an office or in a job that you need to have the skill for running offic c machinery. For the juniors it is very improtant to have good grades if the want to continue to be in the class when they are seniors. The students arc not only graded on their performance on the job but also in the classroom. OEA is a class for the student who wants to learn about business office skills. R.
