VICH Promotes lndividuols 'W I wry Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, better known to most BHS students by its acronym, VICA, is an organization that involves many of our students. The vocational pro- grams at Bedford are very strong and prepare a number of our graduates for entry into the Work force. Cosme- tology, and the various shops , autobody, auto mechanics, Woodwork- ing, metal Working, and electrical, are all a part of the VICA group. The purpose of VICA is to teach its members management and organiza- tional skills as Well as to offer opportunities for socializing and building friendships. The Bedford chapter of VICA is affiliated with groups statewide. Senior Lisa Bell was elected to President of the State Vica group While lack Chapman and Lau- rie Aquino Were named to Vica Council. The highlight of the VICA organi- zation is competition held every Sep- tember for Queen. This years winner was Senior Connie Gerycz who ex- pressed surprise at her victory. I was shocked when I won because they don't usually pick a senior for queen. she said. 26 VICH SAND BLASTING.

Senior French student Iackie Franek said, I believe that French will help me once I'm out in the working world. The interest in each language varies from year to year. One example of this is that there used to be a course offered in Latin which eventually dwindled to zero interest. Students now, from time to time elect to take Latin as an Individual Investigation. Another indicator of the changing swing is the movement of teachers from Heskett to the high school depending on enrollment. In the fall German teacher Frau Altmann will be teaching a split schedule at Heskett after eight years at the high school. I'm looking forward to a new challenge and to working on the basics with these kids. commented Altmann. FIESTA TIME. One way of encouraging lan- guage and culture study for the foreign lan- guage students is the Spanish Club Fiesta held every year. SAD FAREWELL. German students wish Mrs. Altmann good luck at Heskett where she will be teaching introductory German and English in the fall. Foreign Longuoge 25
