The Taylor High School Office Education Association, known as OEA, is comprised of 28 hard- working girls who are enrolled in the Vocational Office Education pro- gram. The club was off to a flying start in September as officers were installed and the OEA held its very first meeting of the school year. Since OEA is a co-curricular club, much class time was spent listening to guest speakers. One speaker, Mr. Frank Abagnale, had the pleasure of speaking to members of the entire school, as the OEA hosted his visit. Other guests rang- ed from bankers to modeling representatives. Speakers from the telephone company helped improve members' phone techniques, while speakers such as Mr. Sam Saenz improved their attitudes towards themselves. Finally, representatives from business schools gave the students a chance to look at their futures. Amidst the excitement, OEA members found time to conduct fund-raising projects, both for their own needs and the needs of others. With a portion of the money raised, students journeyed to Memorial Ci' Hospital in order to give dolls to tr children. The remainder of clu funds were used on various dinnei throughout the year, including tr lst annual CO-OP Employer Bar quet which was held at La Hacien De Los Morales.
