' iM U(CA The memberships in VICA has increased greatly over the last two years, said Senior Clendon Snipes, a member of VICA. What was VICA? VICA was the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. VICA was for all vocational classes. This included wood shop, auto shop, metal shop, commercial art, photography, drafting, and carpentry. The members of VICA com- peted in a contest on a national level every year. In this contest they competed by showing their skills in whichever vo- cational field they were good in. On April 6, 7, and 8, VICA went to Las Vegas. They did fund raisers like selling carna- tions and M ' M ' s to raise money to go. During the sum- mer they planned to compete in Whittitah, Kansas. There were 17 members in VICA. Each student who was a part of VICA spent more time in each vocational class. These students only had to be in a vocational class to be part of VICA. 178

Vocational classes also provided an amount of ex- perience in the vocational field the student desired. What we would like is for every student to walk out of this high school with a saleable skill. We have a good group of teach- ers. The vocational department has been hurt because the grad- uation requirements have gone up, concluded Vice Principal, Mr. Scoggins.
