DECA: On the Job Training Working in the school and community, DECA members have a full time job. After spending their morning studying in the classroom, they are then dismissed for on-the-job training. Distributive Education is for juniors and seniors only who want to work full time immediately after graduation. Some of their activities for this past year have been to have various speakers talk about their jobs to the class. They have also attended conventions and par- ticipated in district competition.

Tomorrow ' s Leadership Taught Today Members of FBLA were afforded many opportunities to develop their leadership potentials in business. They were rewarded on a point system for aid- ing teachers, selling money-making pro- jects, attending meetings, achieving the A or B honor roll, or for helping to maintain an informative display case in the north end of the main hall. All club members who had earned 25 service points during the year were then eligible to attend the annual FBLA convention at Ball State University. The money necessary to send club members to the convention and for the maintenance of the club was raised through a jewelry sale which profited $600. The sale of FBLA letter jackets, another fund-raising project, encouraged leadership by awarding a free jacket to top salesman. Mrs. Sturgeon and the new sponsor, Mrs. Cummings, supervised the monthly meetings at which various guests kept the students informed of the current trends and the many opportunities avail- able in the business world.
