Juniors Begin Business Studies Touring Nationwide Insurance Company definitely seems like an out of the ordinary trip hut not to the members of the Junior Data Processing Club. One group went to Columbus for a state leadership conference, the regional competition at Buckeye Hills, and back to Columbus for the state competition. At home, they were trying to prepare themselves for the business world, to be able to conduct a business job properly and efficiently. They were also practicing their sales techniques by selling candy bars to raise money for their many field trips and their end of the year banquet where awards were presented to the top students of the program. Awards were presented to the following from the Data Processing I class: Renee Lombardo received the accounting award; Lorenda Parks, the typing I award; and Kim Childers, the data processing I award. From the Word Processing I class, recipients were Christy Riley for speed typist award; Jenny Neff, outstanding typist award; and Tina Gilliland received 100% attendance and the outstanding word processing computer award.
