Going first class just for the fund of it E ach year colleges calculate which field most undergraduates will major in. Recently the figures have shown an overwhelming majority of stu- dents deciding on a career in busi- ness. To help these future magnets even before they reach the college- level, the Future Business leaders of America and Distributive Education Clubs of America allowed students to get practical business experience. The clubs were supplement to the business courses offered and gave students the chance to take field trips, hear local businessmen speak, and participate in state-wide compe- titions. The main goals of DECA Club were to develop future business lead- ers and individual responsibility and to create an understanding ofthe free enterprize system. Members didn't have to wait until they hit Wall Streetg they were able to apply their knowledge right at Rampart by run- ning the student store and conces- sion stand. The clubs also organized their share of fund-raisers. Sponsored by Mrs. Lana Earhart, FBLA sold can- dygrams at Christmas and carnations on Valentine's Day, while DECA sponsored by Mr. Tom Curry, always looked for new items to offer to stu- dents through the student store. Both clubs did require member- ship dues, but their district, state and national competitions, field trips, and scholarships made them well-worth students' money to become mem- bers. RQ A SMILE ALWAYS helped a sale. Sponsor Tom Curry and Senior Austin Pfenning go over the books. IN A STATE-WIDE competition, DECA members gathered at the Chapel Hills Mall to test their knowl- edge.
