Industries Two of the many vocational subjects offered to students in- cluded Auto Mechanics and In- dustrial Cooperative Training (ICT). And each of these classes were complemented with clubs. Auto Mechanics was a block class that allowed students in- terested in auto mechanics as a trade to get some hands-on training. We learned how cars func- tion and how to make them run better, how to prevent certain problems, and how to correct those problems, Joe Rodriguez said. Even if the students who took Auto Mechanics never end up in the occupation of a mechan- ic, they still may benefit from the experience. Even if I don ' t get a job, I ' ll still be able to do jobs for my friends and maybe get paid, Lupe Ortiz said. ICT allowed students current- ly holding a job in a certain field of employment to to earn both money and credit by working their trade off-campus. Another popular vocational club was VOCT. Sponsor Don Howerton spent many hours helping students find jobs that met their particular needs. The clubs stayed busy by get- ting involved in school activ- ities such as the chili cook-off which the Auto Mechanics club to blue ribbon honors. 60

Listen carefully now! Senior Carl Reyes pays close attention at a TAME meeting. TAME stands for Texas Al- liance of Minorities in Engineering. Phoio B Matusic KIlis Business as usual despite the Cristmas season at this TAME meeting. Senior Stefanie Merculief concentrates on news of upcoming activities within the club. Phola B MaKBie KIlis Sitting very still senior Dennis Polston gets his hair trimmed by senior Carrie Hol»eger at the C ' ut-A-fhon which was sponsored by VIC ' A ' s cosmetology de- partment. Pholo B) Sle i- Mc andlcss Business If a future in engineering was a possibility for the years ahead then Texas Alliance of Minor- ities in Engineering (TAME) was excellent source of informa- tion. The club dealt with trying to help people discover the many different areas that involve en- gineering so that they could de- cide if engineering was really a possibility for them. It also en- couraged minorities to enter in- to the field if they were inter- ested, but the club was not for minorities only. The club vis- ited several colleges. Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) was another beneficial club with several areas. Cosmotology and print shop were two of the differant sectors that came under VICA. These, as well as the others, taught a skill that benefited the person in life after high school. Responsibility and leadership were emphasized to help the person become a better busi- nessmen or tradesman. Referring to his notes, senior John Grif- fith listens to the FAME meeting agenda with senior Charles Salas. Each senior in TAME has an opportunity to win a scholarship with the club.
