' For the first time in ten years, DEC A hosted the DECA annual fall rally. Nine schools throughout the f fifteenth district participated in the rally which con- sisted of two parts. First, all members watched the movie Future Shock and then created their own ver- sion of the Gong Show with Gary Taggert of WKL - WBBC radio in Blackstone as Master of Ceremonies. ' FBLA members conducted two activities by attend- ing a fall workshop at Long wood College and visiting Clay ' s Rest Home in Blackstone, where they sang. AH business students were required to take spelling and math tests. Four students received certificates for achieving perfect scores: Madeline Smith, Lynda Kunath, and Lori Tisdale received awards for achieving perfect scores on the spelling tests.

DECEMBER FULFILLING FINALE can ' t believe it ' s a girdle! The new girdle on the market, the compact calculators used in math classes, the dehydrated foods found in grocery stores, all of these items found their way into American homes and businesses as an offshoot of extensive space research. This was the lesson science students learned when NASA delegate, Mr. Allison of Langley Air Force Base lectured as a guest of the CIA. Because the Literary N a az x e staff was not given a school period in which to work, the staff sacrificed their Monday afternoons in order to finish the magazine before Christmas. Patti Bowman edited material, completing the book which sold 150 copies. Another Yearbook deadline had to be met on December 15th. Reporters wrote copy and drew preliminary layouts, while editors organized materia! and finalized pages. With their director Mr. Warren Powell, the Chorus per- formed a Christmas concert at Nottoway and Bluestone. As a participant in Title III, the Chorus took part in programs created to increase public interest such as the public Christ- mas concert held at Central. After performing at the Christmas conc ert, the Band immediately began preparing for AH Regional Band audi- tions. Practicing for the auditions paid off for several Band members who were placed in the concert and symphonic bands. Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Warren Powell, sings Christmas songs at public concert. 4 lectu TisdalS Mlison ihgws CfA mefigber Bei fe new I dckpt designs. I- ' uNrno iT«rfS 24 Clubs
