To go from sweeping floors to owning the company may seem like an impossibility to some, but for DECA students it was all part of the club. DECA, Distributive Education Clubs of America, was a way for students to learn the free enter- prise system, compete for jobs and become leaders. Mrs. Kathy Whaley, the MDE CMarketing and Distributive Education? teacher, has sponsored DECA for eight years, and feels that it is definite- ly a good experience. Juniors learned marketing and managerial skills while seniors concentrated on finding jobs. At the end of the year, the club held an EmpIoyer's Banquet and pre- sented plaques to the students. For students interested in a fu- ture in the business world, DECA was the best place to be. Organizations! 143
