IOHN NOBLE President RETAILER5 The Distributive Education program at Mount Tahoma has, in the past year, provided many benefits and educa- tional opportunities to the participating students. It has, through months of classroom Work, field trips, and demon- strations, fulfilled the many purposes for which it Was created. Each student was taught to develop a sense of individual responsibility and leadership. The students were encour- aged to use ethical practices in the club activities in order to prepare them for later Work in the business field. Eleven members of Retailers attended a state leadership conference in Yakima on March eighth, ninth, and tenth.
