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.

The Lettermen Those Dam L ' s. Renee Nolan and Cyndie Moore try to figure out the procedure for using cropping L ' s. (Top Right) Conference on the run. Mrs. Janice White, sponsor of the T ' bolt, and Jo- celyn Russell make a last minute check on those aggravating little details. (Bottom Right) Checking It Out. Tippy Wilks receives final instructions from his editor, Lanet Schisler. L ' Esprit, Postscript, and Thunder- bolt publications appealed to a three-sided student body. As the year progressed the Postscript col- lected moods, the L ' Esprit placed memories, and the Thunderbolt re- ported on the news scene. The Postscript captured the pens of many a creative writer. It contained a collection of the students ' art and literary work. The staff of 18, picked the better works and sent them to a screening committee made up of college professors who rated them. The Postscript, spon- sored by Ms. Cotton, with Robin Alsobrooks as editor, came out at the end of the year. 64 L ' Esprit, Thunderbolt, and Postscript
