DECA, OEA prepare students for future business careers DECA and OEA are classes designed to give students both credit and paid work exper- ience. Both organizations have state and national affiliation. DECA teaches its students to have a posi- tive attitude toward their work and the people they work with. DECA Coordinator Dan Murray said, I believe this is the best group that I have worked with in the past 13 years. Office Education is a cooperative pro- gram between the school and business community which allows students to gain actual work experience in an office environ- ment. in order to finance a coffee and a ban- quet for employers and trips to local, state, and national conferences, OE students sold carnations for valentines Day. Other fund- raisers included the Top Kat Kit, cheese and sausage, popcorn and school necklaces.

7 PE students are in shape The physical education program is not only a required class, but also a necessary one. Semesters are divided into six-week units of various activities. The units are choosen by the students according to their own interests. Selections include individual activities, such as floor hockey and basketball. Stu- dents are able to compete against and compare themselves to other students. PEOPEL helps students with special needs in phys- ical education to succeed with the help of peer- teachers. PEER-Teaching is a key element of PEO- PEL, a program designed for students who will benefit more from an individualized physical edu- cation program than from general education. Under the direction of physical education special- ists, Ronadel Davis and Tom cady, this class pro- vides a one-to-one instruction ratio in a coeduca- tional setting for up to 40 students (20 PEOPEL students and 20 student aids.) Danny Bertrand (below) concentrates on bench pressing. Jim Ellwanger goes up to block John Cox ' s basketball.
