Dirty deeds done dirt cheap by Robert Foster. Only a 55.00 shop fee, plus parts, is charged for work- ing on a car. Grease, Grime and fit lt always seemed to amaze me how much students learn during the vacation between their junior and senior years, said Mr. George A. Reed, Auto Mechanics sponsor. Auto Mechanics students aren't in there for a free ride. They actually want to learn all they can about car repairs. This was evident by the large number of students in Auto Mechanics last year. There were 16 seniors and 23 juniors. Auto Mechanics members provid- ed the school and community with a place to have their cars and lightweight trucks repaired for a very nominal charge, by students learning the trade. Members sold donated car ac- cessories, such as radios, to earn extra money for their annual picnic in May. They participated in the Plymouth Competition, also in May, and entered many school activities like Sadie Hawkins competition. Most of the members of Auto Mechanics have taken a job in a shop or are running their own businesses. Mr. Reed also proudly claimed that there have been no industrial accidents in all of his years as an in- structor. This gives Auto Mechanics a very good record for being a suc- cessful club at MacArthur. Taking a stab at the engine, Kenny Cooke at- tempts a car repair. It's a dlrty job, but someone has to do it,' says Oscar Reyes to Joe Torres. dps by

L Learning While Working iw Distributive Education Clubs of America CDECAD was an organization providing an education and job ex- perience for students interested in careers in marketing and distributing. Members learned the value of a job at many types of retail establishments. They got a first hand look at the real work world. With money earned, students put to use classroom education such as setting up a budget to manage income. DECA helped me to keep myself financially in tune, said Brett Estep. DECA sponsored a candy sale ear- ly in the year. Money from the sale helped defray expenses at the tradi- tional employers banquet. During February DECA competed in area competition at Aldine High School. Club members Carl Acord won in the Entrepreneurship Divi- sion and Ricky Livanec won in Food Marketing. Both boys competed in San Antonio at the State competition. Officers for the club were Clyde Smith, president, Paula Collins, vice president, Lori Gardner, secretary, and Stephen Cimerhanzel, historian.
