FBLA As the world changed, we had to be prepared to change also. In this process we tried to develop the skills that would help us as we ventured into the vast world of business. We attended the State Leadership Conference in Oklahoma City. The conference gave us tips on how to get people interested in participaing in Future Business Leaders of America. We also discussed the different functions of the office and Fiobert's Flules of Order for conducting meetings. Though enrollment in one or more business courses qualifies a student to be a member of FBLA, the majority of our members were enrolled in the Cooperative Education course. Last summer we participated in the Business Career Development Program and an FBLA National Conference. The remainder of our year was spent preparing for the FBLA fashion show and open house.

X 41' r. and Miss Black Heritage: Keith Troupe and Michelle Willis sf- aw F if 5 B. 13332162 Black Heritage Week As a whole, the purpose of Black Heritage week was to create an understanding of Blacks so that other cultures can more appreciate Blacks as people. Black Heritage Week was held February 9-13. The theme this year was the contributions Blacks have made to America in this century. Uptown at the Apollo was the assembly presentation for Monday. From the 1920's to 195O's, many unknown Black musicians could get their first chance at success on amateur night at the Apollo Music Hall in Harlem. lf they won the weekly contest three times in a row, they were booked for a week of regular shows with full pay. The Apollo represented an important step upward for aspiring Blacks. Throughout the assembly, students performed music by people such as John Coltrane and Dinah Washington while the audience watched slides of prominent Black leaders and scholars. BTW artists displayed African masks and Black oriented paintings in the library on Thursday. On Friday, the Afro-American Society named Keith Troupe and Michelle Willis as Mr. and Miss Black Heritage. Don Floss, a Black Tulsa journalist, spoke on the purpose of Black Heritage Week.

DECA tl ' - DECA came to life this year and people realized MW 'Lt we could actually do something-we didn't just exist. Involvement was our key word. Working in the classroom to develop ourselves for careers in marketing and business management was important and took much of our time. But our DECA 1 chapter was also in the picture with the Free Enterprise and Shoplifting Prevention Weeks, the East District Officer Training Conference and the Bosses Breakfast. After winter break we faced the State Career Development Conference, National DECA Week and an appreciation banquet for , parents in the spring. W When we found'time to raise money, we sold doughnuts and stationery, ran the concession stand A6041 .girl at the speech tournament and held dances. R N Luckily, with the involvement of all the members and the help of Barbara Lyon, we made it through everything and felt good about this year. ,QAM i N ,LJ Qs, Q, 4, QW QwJl!YX JUL 1 77740 UW ' can 5 IOWWSK QW' Jliwww' - .
