Distributive Education Club Arms can be a problem, as Derinda Thiery and Bev Reid discover while clothing a friend from Penney ' s store to illustrate merchandising. 34 learned salesman tecliniques If you want to sell something, just ask Distributive Education students how. It ' s their specialty. They not only study it, but they also practice it on a half-day basis. Contests, surveys, an employer- employee banquet, initiation and in- stallation ceremony, Christmas party and senior picnic were among DE highlights. DE students broadened their scope by being active in regional and district work. Mrs. Evelyn Lobsiger and seven members attended the regional confer- ence where ten Blackford students tested their skills against other DE participants. Thirty-four students participated in programs to develop future leaders for marketing and distribution. Seniors were on the job daily for half a day while juniors studied techniques in the classroom.

Coo perative O f fice Education 8 prepared for office positions Have you ever met that certain person who constantly has money in his pocket? If so, it may have been one of those hardworking COE ' ers. Eight seniors participated in the Co- operative Office Education program which prepared them for initial employ- ment in business and office occupations through class instruction and on-the-job training. The students work regularly a minimum of 15 hours a week. The COE Club was an extracurricular activity for those students in the pro- gram who were forced to miss participa- tion in other activities because of their jobs. These energetic students attended classes in the morning and departed for their respective stations in the afternoon. Mr. Thomas Hale, sponsor, and three members attended the State Coopera- tive Education Association meeting at New Haven High School, Oct. 15. Those attending learned more about their state affiliation. Many participants in the program continued their work throughout the summer months. Buttons — tvhich one to push? exclaims Shir- ley Baker, iiorking on COE in BHS ojjice under Mrs. Johnson. COOPERATIVE OFFICE EDUCATION; (Bottom Row) Linda McFeely (sec). Nancy Love (vice-pres.).

Pe p Club GopKDwer fired girls with spirit By the use of spirit jugs and never- ending chants, Pep Club, led by the cheerleaders, generated Bruin Spirit throughout the entire student body. Many of the 130-member club spread their spirit by volunteering to put bulle- tin boards up in strategic areas of the school. This method of gaining enthusi- asm was especially effective during sec- tional and regional tourney weeks. The attire of the group was long- sleeve white blouses with red sweater vests. They were worn at every home game and most away games. The yell Bruins have go Power was the constant chant of Mrs. Mary Knote and Mrs. Claudia Goodnight , co- sponsors. The girls gave their vocal cords a rest when they sponsored two after-the- game dances. Proceeds went to pay for the new sweater vests. PEP CLUB: (Boltom Row) K. Fergus, C Noble, J. Sims, R.
