D.E.CA. The Deca club has been a great asset to our school this year. In this class, students were taught to believe in the future for which they were planning for themselves in the field of marketing and distribution and in the op- portunities which their vocation offered. They also believed that in fulfilling the highest measure of service to their voca- tion, fellow beings, their country and God, they would be rewarded with personal satisfaction and material wealth. Mr. Howard was the sponsor and Bart Clover was the president of the Distribu- tive Educational Clubs of America.

Journalism I, II, and III— Devoted The purpose of the 1982-83 Journalism staff was to develop their writing skills to the very best of their ability and to pro- duce a yearbook that portrays a year in the lives of Baker students. Through this class, students learn about photos and captions, how to conduct in- terviews, how to write copy, and then how to lay it all out. To increase their journalistic skills and to adopt new ideas and techniques for the betterment of the yearly publication, stu- dents attended a 1982 summer work shop at U.S.A. They also visited Herff Jones in Montgomery, their new yearbook plant. To help finance the book, members sold Spirit rags, wooden calendars, Christmas ornaments, first aid kits, and most impor- tantly, ads during the summer. As they tried to capture the memories of Baker students throughout the year, Journalism I, II, and III students formed a sense of responsibility, and much pa- tience and dedication.
