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.

Clubs with Class VAPA, HERO, FFA Learn and Serve The Visual Arts Promotions As- sociation, Home Economic Relat- ed Occupations, and Future Farm- ers of America, more commonly known as VAPA, HERO, and FFA were three active, club related clubs on campus. Many VAPA creations were seen not only on club t-shirts, but also on the many programs, posters and even on the school seal all of which VAPA helped to design and create. Also taken on were dis- plays of student art works in the office and in the spring and winter art shows. HERO members were real heros to the many charities which bene- fited from their time and effort in the form of pies for Thanksgiving and money from a hike-a-thon giv- en to Cerebral Palsey. These ser- vices were carried out even though the members held part time jobs; a mandatory require- ment for HERO membership. FFA also donated time to chari- ties by helping with the J.C.’s haunted house. They also kept club traditions alive. A particular favorite was green hand day. Those would-be members’ hands were dyed green as a form of initi- ation. Although all three clubs dealt with different interests, their goals were the same — to be actively involved and, of course, to have fun along the way. Design by Tiffany Robinson.
