It is an honor to be chosen for the yearbook due to the fact that the class is limited to twenty students and there are five times that many applications every spring for the following year. This year's staff was hard working, creative and quite co- operative. They put out their best efforts to make this year's publication outstanding.

158-CLUBS Christy Briggs of Ranum placed first in state for her Commercial Artwork in the 1979 Vica contest. .l.C.A. lVocational Industrial Clubs of America? Sponsor: Mr. john McCabe The Vica Club consists of twenty-seven Ranum members and twenty-two Westminster members. The officers of Vica are: President - jeff Wilson, Vice Pres. - Carey Thompson, Sec. and Treas. - Cathy Harrington and Reporter - Lilly Suarez. The officers were elected by secret ballot, their function is to run the club. The club members decided upon field trips as well as guest speakers. Their first field trip started with a Vica Club Breakfast at Village Inn and then onto Witkin Homes at 120th and Colorado Blvd. where the students had an opportunity to witness various stages of housing construction. Club members also have an opportunity each january to participate in the District 50 Architectural Drafting Skill Contest. The three top placers have a chance to participate in the Skyline Vica Drafting Skill Contest which is held at different sites each year within Adams County. We are fortunate that each year we have talented people that do well in these contests and the top two placers in Districts go onto State Competition which this year is being held in Colorado Springs. We have participated at the State level for many years and last year placed first. That person went to the National contest in Atlanta, Georgia, where he did well. One of the purposes of the Drafting Club is to promote leadership and this is accomplished through the students responsibility to the program as well as to one another. To receive full advantage of the Drafting Program the student should enter Drafting in 10th grade to learn basic Drafting under Mr. Hustad and then spend two hours a day during his junior and senior years under Mr. McCabe where the student will study architectural, structural, civil, and pipe drafting. Seniors have an opportunity to be co-oped out into Drafting positions at the beginning of the second semester. These jobs over the years have traditionally been with Architectural and Engineering firms. The co-op student normally works from 4-6 hours a day and receives class credit for the work experience. These jobs generally become full time positions upon graduation. Many of these students will remain in these jobs after graduation but will receive additional training at night classes at Denver Community College, Metro State College and the University of Colorado, Denver Center. Approximately 250!0 of the graduating drafting students become full time Archi- tectural or Engineering students in college after high school. The Drafting Student in District 50 enjoys the best of two worlds in that he attains the skills and develops the knowledge to obtain gainful employment in the Drafting profession and he may also use this early knowledge to further his training at college. Many of these students re- ceive college credit in their freshman year for these high school drafting class- es. lf District 50 students have the de- sire to enter into the Architectural or Engineering fields, this is a good place to begin their career.
