Both clubs are the affiliates of vocational classes offered. The main purpose of DECA is to teach students about mar- keting and distrubition in the business world. Likewise, OEA teaches students the finer points of office work. Both classes teach students a great deal about how to de al with the busi- ness world as a whole. I enjoy DECA because it will help me get a job after high school, senior Peter Wyndham said. DECA participated in contest on Jan. 29. Seniors Debbie Kai- ser and Becky Flores won awards in Fashion Promotion Merchandising Plan and Appar- el and Accessory.

Pholo R John Merrulief S p o Sports took on various meanings whether it was strategy, success, compromise, or defeat. Whether they won or they lost sports participants forced people to take a closer look behind the lines and redefine their terms. Players drilled in strenous hours of practice in efforts to increase their talents as a team and improve their skills. Football held two-a-days during the summer, hoping to im- prove teamwork. Two-a- days consisted of two three hour periods in which players spent their time practicing and running punt and kick-off drills. Other sports such as basketball and track spent most of their time running to practice for the upcoming season. Granted that some games were won and others were lost, the athletic department improved in strength and skill. The quality of the football games improved which showed es- pecially through the Pflugerville game which we won by a score of 25 to 2 1 , tight end senior Lance Osborne said. Public and school support increased rapidly with record breaking numbers of community members and student body attending the games to increase spirit. Performance of the teams aroused curosity and compelled people to notice what the teams were really made of Section Designed By Fred Duck V 83
