84 f Math-Science He always had a smile and a story, said Mr. Jack Mahan. Mr. Myers taught at Heights for thirteen years un- til his death on September 13, 1977. His early years were spent as a football coach and assistant track coach. After a three year stretch in the army, he taught algebra and geometry and was involved in many school activities and civic programs. His favorite hobby was military studies. He had a great influence on his stu- dents and the faculty and was well-liked by everyone. Dr. Martin Smith, Princi- pal, said that Mr. Myers was, a good man, a good teacher and a good friend. He will be remembered and he will be missed. If I can't laugh with my students, I can't teach.

83fBusiness-DECA BECK DECA Attends May Conferenceg Maintains Upkeep Of Bookstore The Business Department taught skills ranging from typing and short- hand to personal finance management and the use of business machines. Though many students entered the Business Department with their eyes on particular business skills, some merely desired more skill at typing for school or more knowledge for future financial management. The Distributive Education Club of America CDECAJ planned a busy schedule to send their students to Washington during May. DECA was organized to develop leadership in stu- dents and to help students gain confi- dence in the field of business. DECA members, sponsored by Mr. Jim Ed- wards, in order to qualify for the Wash- ington convention, had to keep up their grades, perform well in state contests and pass a test. Also, they had to raise money, mostly by selling sponges and other items. BUSINESS FACULTY First Row: Mr. Keith Wilson, Ms. Pam Baker. Second Row: Mrs. Jill Bostwick, Mr. Jim Edwards.
