At the District meeting, held on March 26, there were competitions for F.B.L.A. members from 15 different business cate- gories. Each participant showed courage, responsibility, and ambition by participat- ing. It has been said that by being a member of F.B.L.A., you have your foot in the door- ways of the business world.

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.
