rs l Q 9 DECA Members Plan for Future Working while in school offers advantages other than the obvious one of making money. There are many varied and useful experiences to be found through student work. Many students work in fields of marketing and distribution which develop leadership proficiency, while others enjoy positions as sales clerks and cashiers at General Products, Milleris, and Sears. Preparing sandwiches at Burger King or Blue Circle is for those who enjoy food, while others get their kicks cutting hair at Central Barber Shop. There is also the field of nursing for those who enjoy caring for others. All of these jobs develop pupils, individual traits and help them plan their futures. For those in DECA, life is not just school days and carefree fun, but work - work which helps these students meet their goals.

Assistants Volunteer aluable Services Gum-chewing, tune-whistling school assistants put aside frivolities one hour each day to assist faculty members and other students. Amid discussions of Bonnie and Clyde, five girls learn banking procedures by working as tellers and bookkeepers. Guidance office assistants run countless errands but only after they pin on the new identification tags which protect them from hall monitors, At Austin-East's own general store, distributive education students temporarily swap textbooks and homework papers for cash registers and merchandise orders. '6Where is Ronald Ballenger this period?', and Who reported John Tinsley absent?H are typical of the rapid-fire questions office assistants are expected to answer. Although they earn service points for their work, most of X tr'rr these assistants help because of a sincere interest in their school and a feeling of pride which accompanies a responsible position. Tawana Coleman compiles data for attendance records which were computed by IBM machines this year for the first time. Larry Goodman, Tawana Coleman, Brenda Dyer, Madelyn Wilson, Deborah Walker, Betty Berry, Sue Goss, Brenda Gray and Meriam Kenimcr spend many hours assisting Mrs. Seehorn and Mrs. Mitchell in the office. page V 4 f' J pick tk ' it 0 YR 57

VICA, HI-Y Serve Total Individual With over a hundred members, VICA offers the oppor- tunity of 'tdoing your own thing to more students than any other school organization. Students in vocational and indus- trial co-op classes are eligible for membership in this group which promotes career opportunities and citizenship. While VICA stresses a personis occupational goals, the Hi-Y Club accents a personis spiritual values. Under sponsorship of the YMCA, Hi-Y members regularly attend church services together. Other activities include basketball games with other local Hi-Y groups and annual club trips. This variety of extra-curricular activities is in keeping with Austin-Eastls efforts to develop the total person.
