H3 Black History Awareness Struggles and Successes The Black Culture Club was a group of Cholla students, any and all, who wished to increase the aware- ness of Black History and Culture. The club was sponsored by Mrs. Jeri Lucas. The officers were President - Antionette Williams, Vice-Presi- dent - Rachale Austin, Treasurer - Felicia Johnson, and Secretary - Marlene Hunter. The group con- sisted of thirty-two members and their meetings were held every Thurs- day at 7:15 a.m. For fundraising they had two bagel sales and a dance which was held at Cholla, that was very suc- cessful. Their goals were to increase membership, intergrate the club, and to make more students aware of the struggle of Black People. Their future plans were to hold a Talent Show and an end of the year going away party for the Senior members of the club.

Raul Yturralde is the job develop- er, who worked with the community to assist students in locating jobs. Commu- nication was the key to success. Self con- fidence and positive attitudes were spe- cific areas students were taught to devel- op. O.J.T. also trained students with a saleable skill for the world of work. This training encouraged students who may have already dropped out of school by providing an opportunity for them to re- turn and complete their high school edu- cation. It assisted students in developing a realistic personal awareness of ability and limitations as related to career choice. The students objectives included promoting a more positive self concept, while the community objectives were to develop a working relationship between students, parents, teachers, and employ- ers. They also had employee benefits through reduced employee turnover and training costs. O.J.T.fC.O.E. Clubs H7

Students were encouraged to compare what all the services offered and were under no obligation when asking questions. Many girls were interested in the Army because of the many incentives available. The most asked question was, Do you offer a 2-3 year enlist- ment program? The Army offered a 2, 3, and 4 year program, a 326,000.00 for its employees.
