Distributive Education DECA is the accepted term used to refer to the Distributive Education Clubs of American, or to any of its activities. Commonly, DECA refers to the program of youth activity operated by the Distributive Education Clubs of America. This youth activity program is designed for boys and girls enrolled in part-time cooperative distributive education classes. It is organized on local, state, and national levels to provide incentives and recognition for DE students. The club, recognized as a vital part of the total DE program, encourages group participation, leadership development, and career study. The Indian River Chapter ' s activities this year included the following areas; social, civic, benevolent, fund-raising, and professional. These areas indicate that the DE club — like any other worth while organizatio n — must not only provide interest areas for its own members, but must also adopt activities providing opportunities for service to its school, community, and fellow beings. cf ' Spencer, Vice-President; STANDING, Jeanne Evans, Chaplain; Regina Merrill, Reporter; Gerald Franklin, Secrefary; Mr. Taylor, Advisor; Marvin Cress, Treasurer; Brandyce Smith, Parliamentarian.
