With money al- ready in the treasury, they or- dered notebooks to contain their marketing research pro- jects on which they worked all year. These projects were then judged in March at state com- petition in Wichita. In October DECA attended the Fall Delegate Assembly in Emporia to elect new state offi- cers. DeAne Thomson, presi- dent. was elected Central Re- gion Vice-president of Kansas. A Sales and Marketing Day was held and sponsored by the Sales and Marketing Execu- tives of Derby.
