Or do you work at a business where you have to make sure the cash register is correct? If you have, you know what DECA Club members go through. Clubs in general give a student a chance to become involved. DECA Club gives students, whose interests are in business, a chance to get together as a group to participate in contests, help the school, and have fun, said DECA advisor, Bill Langlas. DECA stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America, and is a national organization. The DECA store is run by Longlas' marketing classes and DECA Club members, and is focused upon a business background. Students are taught how to use a cash register and how to run the store, which includes ordering and receiving sup- plies.

' gs- rms , gl -' There were many clubs and organizations available to the students at Big Sky this year. One of the finest was the Big Sky Key Club. Key Club is an organization which serves the school and com- munity in many ways. Key Clubbers say they got involved because they had older brothers or sisters influence them, or because their friends are in it and they want to get involved. Treasurer Mike Northcutt said that being able to help the community and the school gives one a feeling of accomplishment. Northcutt em- phasized, lt really gives you a good feeling! The 1983-84 Club President Michelle Ruddy said that she likes helping and meeting new pee ple. She felt that Key Club gives one a sense of re- sponsibility. Joining Key Club makes you feel good about yourself because you're helping others and making them happy, Ruddy stated. In previous years, Key Club has helped with various community projects, such as the Easter Seal Telethon, the Special Olympics, and working at the Oral Zumwalt Rodeo. One of the main highlights of the 1983-84 school year was the club's annual Sadie Hawkins dance. at which a Missoula band, Rockitt, played. Key Club.

DECA has a section called the DECA Diamond in which the requirements are social intelligence, civic con- sciousness, financial responsiblity and leadership. Social intelligence simply means that members go to meetings and are aware of what is happening in the group. The DECA commitment to the com- munity is civic consciousness, said Langlas. Each year the DECA Club organizes a special project at certain times of the year to aid people in the community. One Big Sky highlight, is the Christmas supplies they provide for a family which could not afford them. The Club also produces a canned food drive for needy people. Members work in the store to develop financial responsibility. They must run the store exactly as an ordinary com- mercial business. This year DECA will send its out- standing members to the State Leadership Conference in Billings. Ac- tually a competency test, the competi- tion is separated into the different careers of which the students are employed. For the students at Big Sky, the DECA store is quite handy. Students can purchase school supplies and also buy food at a cheaper price than that of the vending machines. The store also promotes school spirit by selling such articles as shirts and hats with Big Sky emblems printed on them. Some of the money which is made at the store goes directly back to the school. Profits will eventually go to the construction of a school sign in front of Big Sky. DECA y 'Q distributed S500 for it. f-'Ns xfi ,Xxx it MX V, E , 'N Xff . m5wV.,,V g!,f V,V 3' ,. Deca-141
