More Business than Pleasure Everyone knows that doughnuts are the trademark of the FBLA, but what they don’t know is that they do a lot more than just sell doughnuts. They cover all the fundamentals of the business world; that is, anything from shorthand and typing to bookkeeping and accounting. This year they had some practical experience in the world of work and got jobs for a two-week period in the Cumberland area, one student working in the County Clerk’s office and one in the superintendant’s office. Sponsors were indeed trying to prepare the future business leaders of America. 1. Dawn Ownby and Rosemary Mendez walk to the FBLA meeting. 2.

What’s a Who? A who is usually someone that has excelled academically, athletically or otherwise. Only a few students are chosen to be Who’s. After you are nominated to be a who you are sent a biography sheet to fill out and asked if you wish your picture published with your biography. Upon sending this sheet in you are sent an application for a scholarship. The books are generally published in December of the year that you are selected. 5. Members of Who’s Who: Row 1: Jay White, Byron Fisher, LaVonne McLendon, Joette Parker, Row 2: Freda Branch, Janet Lawrence, Caryn Lewis. 6. Fish hears a Who. The Student Council Association is an organization designed to help the students get what they need. Each year new officers are elected from selected nomi- nees. A special day is set aside for candidates speeches. The voting takes place the next day and winners are notified. They are always in charge of the Homecoming Dance. This is for fund-raising purposes. The S.C.A. holds many other fund-raising projects throughout the year. The pro- ceeds from these go towards the various donations given by the S.C.A. during the year. 7.

a DECA the Halls?!? Just like other clubs, DECA has had its ups and downs this year. The new distributive education teacher, Miss Carol LaSerte had many new plans and ideas for the DECA club. Unfortunately there were a few set backs. One was a fund raiser with broken candles. Another was several break-ins where proper ty was taken or destroyed. Still another was the amount of money required to have the annual DECA banquet. Therefore the banquet was changed from a rather more formal affair to a picnic-type lunch at Bear Creek Lake. 7.
