Producing the student phone directory is an annual project of OEA. Besides attending contests and producing the directory, OEA members gave an employer-em- ployee luncheon, and had a breakfast and dinner. Hollie Koehler, OEA sponsor, said there were good classes and good students and this year had been especially good. I think that VUE is a terrific program to get involved in if you are interested in an office career. It gives you the training and ex- perience that you need, and it almost assures you of having a good job when you get out of high school. I would encourage anyone interested in working behind a desk to get involved in VUE or OEA. . -Karen McAdams OEA HOSAXOEA 139
