Learning Skills for a Lifetime! The Office Education Association, (OEA), is a national youth organization for high school students enrolled in Cooperative Office Education (GOE) and or Intensive Office Lab (lOL). It is devoted to providing students with educational, vocational, and lead- ership opportunities and experiences. Each year students are provided the opportunity to participate in district, state, and national contests in which they are competing for excellence in such areas as Shorthand, General Clerical, Receptionist, Accounting, Extemporaneous Verbal Communica- tions, Proofreading and Spelling, and Job Application. OEA students co- sponsored with student government one of the most successful Thanksgiv- ing Basket drives, by which many fam- ilies in the community were served. From 12 to 2 in Room 108 students gain on-the-job experience in dental, real estate, law, college, medical, school, bank and other functional sta- tions without leaving the building. Col- lege-bound as well as business majors elect the two-hour lab as means to developing the insurance policy for employment opportunities and skills necessary in vocational and profes- sional career pursuits. Students in lOL belong to the intra-curricular club OEA. Top, The lOL room empty after a long day at work.

The Marching Band Entertains Fans During Halftime This year the band was lucky to get a new band director. His name: Willy Keyes. His style: GREATimi Mr. Keyes was an assistant director at Riley and we were fortunate to get him Along with his assistant, Mr. Hawkins, they made up routines to march to the Theme from the White Shadow and Dallas. They also marched in the Holi- day Parade. This year ' s twirlers were Sherry Por- ter and Debbie Warren. The drum major was Greg Hanson. This year for their fund raiser they had a cheese and sausage sale and with eighty members in the band, it was pretty successful. The band got new drum equipment this year, and they hope to go to the State Band Contest. The marching band practiced out- side in the student parking lot early in the mornings in all kinds of weather. It caused a few problems, but when we saw them perform we didn ' t seem to mind that much; it was worth it. 149
