Young leaders working today to make a better tomorrow - this is the slogan of FBLA. FBLA, which stands for Future Business Leaders of America, is a club which brings students with an interest in pursuing a career in business together. During the fall, members had the chance to listen to two guest speakers. One was a model from the Barbizon Studios, who related the best methods of dressing for the office. The other speaker was from Milwaukee Stratton College and discussed the ways to win an interview and make the best impres- sion possible when applying for a job. Regional competition, which was held on February 7 at West Allis Central High School, was probably the most impor- tant event for the club. Members had the opportunity to test their business skills against those of others in such areas as Shorthand, Accounting, Typ- ing, and Data Processing. Those Central members who placed in the top five in their event went on to compete at the state conference, which was held in Green Bay in the early part of May. Julie Anderson, FBLA Secretary, remarks, lt's a great club to belong to. l've met so many people here that l probably never would have met other- wise, and we all had a lot of fun together. Even though FBLA may sound like all work and no fun, this is not true. The club had Halloween, Christmas, Valen- tine, and skating parties. Naomi Dalton probably sums it up best when she says, Future Business Leaders of America 86 f FBLA lf you plan on going on in a business career, it's great. Most people think of FBLA as all business related, but it's really no different from any other club. We have parties and bake sales, too. FBLA helps people to see what business is really all about. lil Practicing for an upcoming competition, FBLA member Pam Wiedeman works on her typing skills. 121 During open study hall.

The parties we had for men- tally retarded kids were really special. lt's really challenging to try to get hold of their interest and make them smile and laugh along with you. That's a reward in itself. - John Ott Y Members of Central's Medical Out- looks Club had a very rewarding year, combining their interests with service projects and interesting field trips. The majority of the members plan to continue in medical careers, and as a result, the club invites guest speakers to come several times during the year. Rachel Rachow remarks, l'm thinking about a health career, and the informa- tion we have received has made it easier to choose between the many fields. One major club activity is participa- tion in the National Disaster Program, which helps area hospitals learn how to prepare for disasters. Students are transformed into victims and are transported to an emergency center from the accident site. Another activity which many mem- bers found especially rewarding was giving parties, including a Christmas party, for mentally retarded and special education children. Also, students helped with the Red Cross Blood Drive in early March, giving their time and energy as well as their blood. President Cindy Nack concludes, lf you're interested in any kind of health field, Medical Outlooks is a good club to join. Medical Outlooks Club Medical Outlooks f 87
