DE project surveys local preferences Participants in Distributive Education, a work program for juniors and seniors, range from students whose future plans do not include college, to those who hope to attend a college or technological school. This program allows students to discover various facets of job related activities. By having to take only four classes a day and leaving the campus after fourth period, members are able to obtain jobs with longer hours and more responsibility. In the required DE class, the work program participants learn about advertising display, merchandising and job interviews. Each member must coordinate a display for the south campus showcase. u Active members who participate in contests were selected to attend the Area and State Leadership Conferences, Oct. 15 and 16, at the Astroworld Hotel and Mar. 10-12 at the Dallas Shera- ton Hilton. Area representatives were juniors Darlene Scruggs, Yvette Lyssy, Becky Samuelson, Debra Hartmen, Debbie Muecke and Diane Prochazka in the fields of general merchan- dising, food services, display, advertising, job interview and apparel and accessories, respectively. Seniors Rodney Midkiff and Ronnie Phillips competed in food marketing and salesman- ship. As a club, DE also submitted a Creative Marketing Manual based on a survey of Deer Park's consumers' shopping prefer- ences, which placed in the top seven at area competition and advanced to state. Other club activities included a picnic Oct. 3, a contest at Port Arthur Jefferson High School, booths at the Chamber of Commerce Halloween Carnival, and the Fall Festival, a Christ- mas party at junior Debbie Muecke's house where members exchanged gag gifts, and the donation and presentation of a Christmas tree to a needy family.
