Business Skills Are Sharpened B DECA Attaining an understanding and working knowledge of marketing prin- ciples was the fundamental goal of DECA. Through competition at confer- ences, as wel as on the 'ob, students learned how the world of business real- ly works. A blood drive in October for United Blood Services, raised one hundred and fifteen pints of blood, which was the biggest turnout from any school blood drive. More students gave blood this year than any other year at Marcos.

DECA's Blood Drive A Success The DECA Blood Drive was a huge suc- cess. Mr. Dan Greaven, Marketing advisor said, More Seniors participated this year than any other year. To give blood, students had to be seven- teen years old and weigh 110 pounds. The drive was run entirely by the students. They did all of the baking and made all the ar- rangements. Students baked cookies to give to donors in order to help build their strength back up. Mr. Greaven said that the only thing the group did not do was the actual blood taking.
