Experience Making The Difference Specializing in leadership. Future Business Leaders Of America, . Distributive Education Clubs Of America, Distributive Education, and Cooperative Office Education emphasized future careers of their members. With chapters all over the coun- try, FBLA competed with other schools in state and national con- tests. Its main focus this year was to establish career goals, develop character and self-confidence, and facilitate the transition from school to work. The advisor, Mrs. Braunhut, said, ‘‘We have strived to make students more aware of careers in the business world and to focus on life after high school. Another career oriented club was DECA which also included members of the DE class. This chartered class was open to sen- iors with the desire to work during school hours. Along with service activities, they attended three main conferences and competed in sales events winning trophies and scholarships. The advisor, Mrs. Berssenbruegge, felt great satisfaction with the club’s pro- gress. Equally active was COE, a class for seniors which gave both class- room instruction and related on- the-job experiences. An average of twenty work hours a week earned them three credits. COE also con- tributed to Mustang spirit activities and community charities. All these clubs prepared mem- bers for their futures in business. Design by Amy Ellen Gerace Photos by Gwen Gregory FBLA.

Altered States Newslab, Quill and Scroll And Literary Arts Change Trying new angles was the “in thing for campus publications as they attempted new concepts. The most visable publication was the newspaper. The Mustang Roundup. All staff members com- petently served to inform the stu- dent body. They scoured the cam- pus and community looking for vi- tal news, fascinating features, dynamic sports, provocative opin- ion, and informative in-depth re- ports. The paper’s skilled photog- raphers and cartoonist endeav- ored to summarize events, adding an extra dimension to the paper. New for The Roundup this year was a name change (adding The” to the official title), and changing to a compact, magazine style. Perspectus, the literary maga- zine, also ventured an image change shifting from a club to more of a publication. The staff’s goal was to publish students’ writ- ing and artwork. Quill and Scroll, comprised of members of yearbook, newspa- per. and Perspectus, also incorpo- rated new ideas. In addition to be- ing an honorary society for jour- nalists, the club also participated in service projects to benefit the community. The hard work of all the publica- tion staffs was evident as Dobson became a showcase for high-qual- ity. respected works. Design by Patrick Harvan. Photos by Andy Phelps. uill and Scroll.
