Twenty demerits! Charles Jones poses as an R.O.T.C. member out of uniform. From the tops of their heads to the soles of their feet, the National Honor Society, Chess Club, Ger- man Club, and ROTC Drill Team members got what they asked for when they joined these organiza- tions. Membership in the NHS re- quired brain power with a B-l- aver- age. Not the most active group at Callaway, the NHS met only once or twice during the year. Mr. Jones sponsored the NHS for the 7th year and the Chess Club for the 2nd year. Brain power in the form of concentration, determination, and skill characterized members of the Chess Club. Their elbows ground- ed into table tops as they rested chins in hand during heated tour- naments. Tongues rolled and throats revolted as German Club members tried to master German pronunciation. Struck by the Christmas spirit, the Deutch- landers decorated a Tannenbaum, had a party at Mr. Rochester ' s home and topped the week off by caroling around the school on Fri- day. Coordination came into play as the ROTC Drill Teams shuffled around Callaway at practice and up Capitol St. at parades. The ROTC classes created two Drill Teams from the best young men and women in its ranks. With Doug Chambers and Sarita Jackson as commanders of the sexually segre- gated teams, they practiced Mon- day through Thursday to perfect and put together new march steps. From brain power to foot power, these organizations appealed to the intelligence and talent of Callaway ' s student body. Tannenbaum.

It says it all. DECA fund raising projects appeal to the school spirit. Conventions: They can be local, state, or national. Someone attends theni. Someone puts them together. Someone raises money to send de- legates. Someone raises money to pay speakers. Someone makes ac- commodations for the delegates coming to them. During the 1977- 78 school year MA0 and DECA spent most of their time preparing for conventions. Unlike the MA0, DECA had con- ventions on three levels — local, state, and national. The local con- vention took place on January 24, at Hinds Junior College. Ms. McDaniel picked the ten delegates who would attend. When the state convention was held, twelve of the 2000 people there were from Callaway. They competed in areas that ranged from apparel and asses- sories to petroleum marketing. Members of DECA sold both stick- ers and M M ' s to make conven- tion money. While DECA sent delegates to con- ventions, MA0 continued to pre- pare. Due to Lanet Schisler ' s elec- tion to the office of State MA0 Se- cretary at the ' 76-77 convention, the responsibility for the ' 77- ' 7i convention befell the Callaway chapter. President Milton Johnson and the sponsor. Dr. Ann Boling put the Thetans to work on pre- parations for the convention. They formed committees to handle corre- spondence, organize competition, arrange Friday night entertain- ment, and find a place for the dele- gates to stay. Both conventions in- volved the making of new friends and the exchange of ideas. Model Mannequins.
