DECA chapter officers, with district vice-president Susan Rodgers officiating, took their pledges at the Sheraton Airport Inn during a September training pro- gram, and met later on with the district during the Fall Conference at Virginia Tech. Audra Amette, FHA dis- trict chaplain, led the open- ing prayer at activities such as the fall Federation meeting, where member clubs sold crafts and baked goods, with proceeds going to Camp Easter Seal. FBLA sold about $1800 worth of candy, with the proceeds going towards scholarships, and funding the trip to Washington, DC, in March. Meanwhile, DECA actually had its own store in the H 0t stuff At the Ronald McDonald House, FBLA members Amy Vest. Helen Conner, and Sally Hypes watch as sponsor Mrs. Julia Graves puts one Iaitldish, hot from the oven, on the ta e. It was a year of differences as the career Clubs explored he other side of the coin cafeteria, and while it earned very little profit, it provided good experience for the workers. For $2, AIASA members sold wooden locker shelves, which the club had made themselves at the beginning of the year. While DECA students generally missed school in the late afternoon on work co-op, in November they missed the morning and went to Tanglewood Mall. At Leggett, DECA members helped distribute clothes to about 500 needy children during the annual iiChrist- mas Cheerii program. The Cave Spring Club shared the responsibility with the DECA chapter from William Flem- ing. The Christmas party lasted the entire school day at FHA Open House. The club sold crafts and baked goods made by the members, with Aehlev Sheets all of the proceeds going to itToys for Tots? McDonaldis might have served lunch to the FBLA, but the FBLA served dinner to the Ronald McDonald House. Members cooked a Christmas dinner for the guests, then went back in January and February. Marketing students visited Valley View Mail for a district competition. The competiv tion was on three levels, with the winners going to the state contest in Norfolk. FBLA had its own contest at Salem High School, with 800 students vying for awards in business-related categories. Activities at the very end of the year slowed to an almost leisurely pace as many clubs banqueted at posh local restaurants, and students prepared for graduation and summer, Ashley Sheets Ashley Sheets

Ashley Sheets II on t.v. and in the center of the mall They spent the weekend at the mall. During Vocational Education Week, which took place in February, vocational clubs and classes from through- out the Roanoke Valley gath- ered at Tanglewood Mall and set up displays. The center of the mall was filled from end to end with computers, robots, eleciIical displays, whining scissors and curling irons. and even food prepared by a home eco- nomics group. But Vocational Education Week was just that: a week. During this time the vocational clubs and classes drew attention to their benefits through tours and public service announcements. In fact, WSLS Channel 10 came to school in January to feature the Home Economics and Business departments in a commercial advertising Vocational Education Week.
