Academics on the rise! Upon hearing the names BOEC, NHS, or the Math Team, people often wonder what these clubs are. These clubs help honor those students who have unique qualities above and beyond the average student. They can be both exciting and challenging to those students who par- ticipate in them. This year DHS once again offered BOEC. BOEC stands for Business Office Education Clubs, and it’s a business club involving students that participate in business classes. This year’s BOEC members went to Flint, Michigan, for competition and had 11 people qualify for state competition held on March 14- lb at the Detroit Renaissance Center. Those placing at state cometition were Erin O’Connor and Tammy Warczinsky, both placing eighth in their events. In National Honor Society the members also had their share of fun and excitement for the year. As a tradition, the senior National Honor Society helped the elementary students get into the spirit of Christmas by dressing up in Christmas-related costumes. These cos- tumes ranged from Santa Claus to even a gift wrapped present. They went from room to room singing Christmas carols. On Friday, March 21, the senior Na- tional Honor Society traveled to Toronto, Canada. Their stay lasted until March 23. They visited such places as the Olde Spaghetti Factory, the Ontario Science Center, and the Eaton Center Mall. Kari Sparkman, a participant on the trip quotes, “It was exciting and ev- eryone who went had a lot of fun.” This year’s Math Team has taken tests involving work with various kinds of high-level math. The tests are taken once a month, and those students who have the top five scores are entered into the math league which consists of other high scoring students around the state. It is quite obvious that these clubs add excitement to the normal school routine and make learning a fun experience. NHS 1st Row: Kim Klaty.

Working for perfection Working in the offices of Deckerville high school is both an exciting and learn- ing experience. The students are introduced to many of the same type of jobs that they would experience in outside secretarial jobs. Sophomore Lisa Flanagan who works in the high school principal’s office stated, “I enjoy working in the office. It gives me a chance to meet many different people and further develop my secretarial skills to prepare me for the real thing.” Some of the jobs which office aides perform are: Filing papers, running errands, answering phone calls, and helping other students who come into the office. “It’s and interesting experi- ence. I enjoy being around people and working in the guidance office gives me that opportunity,” says senior Julie McConnachie. The office aides are very much appre- ciated by the secretaries. “I’ve only had two students refuse to run errands in the eleven years I’ve been here,” stated Mrs. Judy Bowerman. “They’re really helpful!” HIGH SCHOOL OFFICE AIDES Kelly OMara.
