Carroll, Corbin Given State Offices Seven out of the eleven D. 0 . members attended the State D. 0 . Convention at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, on March 22, 23. Two of the D. O. members, Arthur Carroll and Garfield Corbin, had the honor of being on the Registration Com- mittee, and Garfield Corbin also served as host at the convention banquet. The conven- tion was the highlight of the year for the club. The year 1953-54 was the eighth year that Culpeper High School has had a Diversi- fied Occupation class. Members were drawn from the junior and senior classes. The Di- versified Occupation Club of C. H. S. was affiliated with the Diversified Occupation Clubs of Virginia. The D. O. Club’s purpose is to provide activities for students enrolled in the Diversified Occupations class; the organization met once a month during the class period. The members of the D. O. Class did not attend school all day as they usually worked in the afternoons and some at night. The class counted one credit and the job of working in a business firm counted one credit. Thus each member of the D. O. Club earned two credits for graduation by taking this class. These student workers were paid for their work just as any other employee was. The 1953-54 D- O. Club under the guidance of their new adviser, Mr. S. C. Broyles, participated in the following activities : float in Home-Coming Parade, radio program during Vocation Week, Employer-Employee Banquet, and the D. O. Convention. By training in the D. O. Club, the mem- bers will know what to expect when they go out into the world to make their living. All students found that through Diversified Occu- pations it was possible for them to meet the public and get a good start in the business world. Arthur Carroll. . Harold Myers. . . .

Holds Employer- Employee Banquet Carolyn Brown Wayne Brown Ruth Dodson Lillie Tippett Barbara Myers Mr. Woodrow Favre President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Promotion Manager A dviser Repeating an annual custom, the Dis- tributor’s Club held an Employer-Employee Banquet. This was held in the high school cafeteria on February io, 1954, and proved to be quite successful. A first for the D. E. Club took place on February 27, 1954, when all eleven members of the club attended the District Convention in Washington, D. C., at the Willard Hotel. Several of the C. H. S. members par- ticipated in contests, and an award was given to the school represented in Washington which received the most points. On February 14, at Front Royal, Virginia, preliminaries were held and contests were conducted in speech, salesmanship, and merchandise display. D. E. members decorated a float for the Home-Coming Parade. In observance of Vocational Week at C. H. S., the D. E. Club had a radio program made possible by the local radio station. An assembly program was presented to the entire student body during this week. All the activities of the year were relived again by members of the club through an up-to-date scrapbook. In order to qualify as a member of the Distributor’s Club, a student must be a member of the distributive education class, be a junior or senior in high school, and work an average of fifteen hours per week. Under the guidance of their new sponsor, Mr. Woodrow Favre, the club’s goal was to learn more about the field of distribution and to acquire training in it. The entire club attended the State Con- vention in Richmond, Virginia, on March 4-5, 1954. The 1953-54 year was climaxed at the National Convention in San Antonio, Texas, but due to travel distance, no Culpeper members attended. 76 } -

Jane Brown received the largest number of blue ribbons for the girls and Marvin Minor, the boys. Four-H members went on to district and state fairs. Their achievement was shown by the amount of money they received, Marvin Minor carrying off a total of $269.00 at these fairs, and Elizabeth Feaganes, $64.50. The Senior Club won the county banner for being the tear ' s outstanding club. Members worked on projects winter and summer. Camps and beach trips were provided by the State Extension Service, so that relaxation became a part of their projects also. Nine club members attended the State Short Course held in June at V. P. 1 ., Blacksburg; four went to the State Conservation Camp at Camp Farrar, Virginia Beach ; and thirteen attended the District Camp held at Holiday Lake at Appomattox. Mary Carder was Area Contest winner and All-Star member for 1953. One monthly meeting was devoted to business and the other to improving projects. Member- ship had increased with growing interest in 4-H work. The club observed 4-H Week on March 6-14, displaying their activities in store windows, on bulletin boards, and by radio programs. Under the leadership of Mr. George Heflin, 4-H mem- bers tried to fulfill their motto, “To Make the Best Better. ' 4 7S }
