MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE High school students all take some form of English in their curri- culum. At DHS three years of English are re- quired—teaching stu- dents punctuation, sen- tence structure, and grammar usage. If the student is brave enough, he she may choose to take a fourth year of English, College Prep English. It is not a required course, but it is available only to sen- iors so there is as little time as possible be- tween this course and when they attend college. English is important to all students so that they will properly develop their language use, which will be reflected greatly in their speech. The speech class Is also a required course for all students. Being able to speak to the public In an influential way is Important. Students are graded on all types of speeches, from im- promptu to debate speeches. One way students are able to develop their skills in English and speech is through the Business Office Educa- tion Club, BOEC. Busi- ness class students may join this club. Students who are in BOEC compete in all areas of business, as well as in English and speech. No matter what you do In life, your speech and language are very important. They will greatly influence others In the world of jobs and opportunity. -Karen Woodard MARCHING PROUDLY In the parade of presidents, seniors Teresa Mosher and Tammy Warczlnsky represent our school at the State BOEC Con- vention held In Detroit.

Boredom never had a chance to set in for the students involved in organizations at DHS. From National Honor Society to being an office aide, students find some- thing to dive into, to occupy their time. DHS started some new organizations for the students this year. They are the Home Economics Program, the Thespian Troupe, and the Amateur Design Club. A lot of time and effort goes into the clubs and organizations. Many students stay after school, miss lunch hour, and take part in weekend activities to make their club work. The Amateur Design Club, a new club, meets one day a week to work on various art projects. Another one of the new organizations, the Thespian Troupe, has a meeting once a month. This is a national troupe, and you must participate in two school plays to be- come a member. Among school organizations are the those that have been around for many years. These clubs have been an important part of the students’ extra-curricular activities. Business Office Education Clubs (BOEC), National Honor Society, and the math team are a few of the older clubs and are all well represented clubs by the students. These and the other organizations make a student feel important and can even make school fun at times. So dive in and join an organization and see the lighter side of DHS! -Kelly Broughton LET'S GO GOLD! GO MAROON!! Represent- ing the Deckerville marching band is freshman Margo Jones.
