Lab. ■ Sticking To Business Business is the way of the future. Many students at Clay reached the conclusion that with a good business background the ladder of success would be easier to climb. The Business Depart- ment met the needs of the students that participated in its courses. A few years ago all one needed was a pencil, a note- book, and a typewriter. Not so today! Mrs. Janet Macey, Head of the Business De- partment, stated, There has been an explosion of equipment and new proce- dures. The advances in technology helped prepare students for the business world. With the new classes that were added to the curricu- lum, students had an oppor- tunity to work with different computers by taking Com- puter Applications.

In the Business Clubs at Clay members had an op- portunity to get involved in the working world. D.E.C.A. (Distributive Education Cooperative As- sociation), sponsored by Mr. Mark Tobolsk!, had his members involved in retail, marketing, and manage- ment. Senior Darci Battles, a member of D.E.C.A., said, I enjoy D.E.C.A. It helped me work more hours during the week instead of sitting in a classroom all day. An- other Ciub was O.E.A. (Of- fice Education Association), sponsored by Mrs. Pamela Decker. Students in O.E.A. attended school a half day and worked in an office a half day. They experienced office technology and prob- lems in the business envi- ronment. Business classes offered students a variation of the every day classes while also teaching them the latest procedures for future ca- reers. With the aid of these classes, Clay students ob- tained the experience they needed to succeed in the business world. Business OD
