V.I.C.A., Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, was a national organization, which promoted pride and leadership in the vocational field. Its purpose was also to let other students in the school be aware that students in the vocational field were not “a bunch of dum dums”, said Mr. Demalleville, sponsor. The boys in Auto Mechanics held many contests and came out a “winner” every time. For example, the Rodeo Contest last fall was won by Don- ny Jones, who won the Overall Driver Trophy against his fellow students. The students at Lake Braddock held a contest against Edison in Trouble Shooting and came up with: First, Ed Shoemaker; Second, Jeff Rosenthal (both from West Springfield); and Third, Phil Hall from Lake Braddock. Twelve boys from West Springfield came to Lake Braddock daily to work on cars, and the other nine¬ teen members were from Lake Braddock. V.I.C.A. was a very worthwhile organization for students who would rather take up a vocational trade than go to college. The members of the V.I.C.A. are, from West Springfield: Ralph Johnson, Joe Baynes, Bill Vinette, Bob Wolfat, Jeff Rosenthal, Rick Jones, Paul Behl, Ed Shoemaker, Toby Jones, Mike Labnash, Jeff Hoopingarner, Don Jones. Members of Lake Braddock are: Robert Carson, Richard Hock, Mike Lykins, Steve Zavada, Mark Masaitis, Phil Hall, Bob Robertson, Ken Stockton, Dave Richardson, John Meade, Ky King, Scott Cameron, Kevin Hale, Mark Sperry, Wes Swearinger.

Assisting Youth Development was an activity of the Fairfax County Red Cross chapters youth program. A group of selected high school juniors and sophomores conducted “rap” sessions in sixth grade classrooms. They discussed any problems or anxieties that the elementary students had concerning life in the intermediate and high schools. Hopefully, these sessions would smooth the transition to higher grade levels for them.
