The coordinator for our chap- ter is Ms. Bobbie Welch. She has been in- volved in our D.E.C.A. chapter for T3 years. This club has helped the students learn a little more about what it was like in the working world and prepares them for employment. Students were involved with in class projects that dealt with retailing, merchandising, ap- parel and accessories and many other busi- ness oriented activities. The main thing about D.E.C.A. was the conferences. To start off the year, D.E.C.A. held a workshop at the First United Method- ist Church with a variety of guest speakers. The most fascinating guest was U of A Coach Larry Smith's wife Cheryl, who talked about the physical fitness business. Another inter- esting speaker was Ms. Robin Schultz who told of her experience with the Fashion lnsti- tute of Design and Merchandising. She dis- cussed the importance of first impressions at iob interviews. Tucson winter conference was held in Feb- ruary andthe state conference in March. The conferences were very different in that they got the students more involved by personal interviewing. - By Sally Greening gi: . 'B' ..l9 s1.,'.uw-W - . f- . V- . gp- r-xv.

Seniors Initiate New Members DECA Kidnapping Every year for the last nine years, DECA has been initiating the new members. On November l6th the members kidnapped new members for a breakfast at McDonalds on 6th Street and Veterans. The Senior Merchandising Class kid- napped the new iunior members at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. They were not allowed to change their clothes before leaving their houses and were taken in their paiamas. and Dr. Each student was transported by a different senior so initiations were unique and fun. Some had to sing jingle bells in a uCircle-K blind folded, while others had to buy something in a store with the six pennies they carried in a bas- ket. After all the initiation ceremonies the students were taken to McDonalds for breakfast and were served pancakes, sausages, and orange juice. The chaperones were Principal Dr. Preston, Assistant Principal Mr. Bailes and his wife, and Ms. Welch the DECA Coordinator. While the students were eating, the chaperones evaluated who would win awards for various categories, Alma Lopez won a thermometer for the warmest pajamas, Frank Fletcher won a pair of pink nylons, Linda Lopez won a pair of snork glasses for the gooliest dressed, Kim Noble won Rain- bow Brite combs and brush set for the messiest hair, Brian Gaston won a razor for the nairiest legs, and Pam Becwar, DECA Chapter Presi- dent, received a bib for the Sloppiest eater. L Awards ntat wx, ...JA Award winners: Kim Noble, Linda Lopez, Frank Fletcher, Brian Gaston, Pam Becwar, and Alma Lopez. The kidnapping had a great turn out. It ran smoothly because it was organized well. It was put together by Seniors Rachel Rodriguez and Tari Higgins. After this was all completed the students were returned to their houses safely. - By Sally Greening r W DECA Kidnapping r
