Lock of lime Flinders FBLA Leaders of the future . . That was Robert Tesney's characterization of the members of the Future Business Leaders of America club, or FBLA. Diane l-iamiiton said. lt's a club where you learn about business and how to prepare tor life in the business world. The FBLA club was composed of students from the typing and business classes. The school had 446 members. making it one of the largest in the state for a school of this size. lvlrs. Barbara Meeks, sponsor of the club, stated that Our school is very active . . . fbutj we would be even more active if we had more time, Besides entering a variety at district. state, and national contests on the aspects of business, the members also sold Nuttie Buddies and Chuck Wagon candies to earn money for the club. in addition, each member received or percentage of the profits from the candy that they sold themselves as an incentive to sell more. Keeping that money is the best part of it, said David Pope. in the contests. many of the students were able to achieve top honors. Several even placed high in the standings of the state contest. Some of the events that teams entered were secretarial skills, Parliamentary procedures. and speech making, The FBLA and the BOE clubs worked closely together and many students in BOE were also members of FBLA. There are many ideas as to what the meaning of a club should be, but the members ot FBLA all seemed to have grasped the idea of their club. ln the words of Robert Tesney, the club was created to provide a better understanding of the way business leaders would be.
