xperience: the Key to Perfection Lcfr. - F.B.L.A. - o.E.A. Concentrating on her speed, Elizabeth Reaves prepares herself for competition. . . Our vocational classrooms are just as im- portant as any other, President Ronald Reagan professed at the VICA National Leadership Conference. The best way to achieve perfection in any field was to obtain experience. This was what a voca- tional classroom was all about, learning how to work effectively. I.C.T., F.B.L.A. and O.E.A. were three branches of vocational education. The purpose of I.C.T., Industrial Cooperative Training, was to provide students with an oppor- tunity for career training in fields that include carpentry, automobile mechanics, commercial art, photography, drafting and so on. It is classroom training of industrial and health occupations, which coordinate with the students employment, commented Louis Kosclskey, the I.C.T. teacher and co-ordinator. I.C.T. is a two-year program made of students 16 years and older. It is an international organization and its members successfully competed in interna- tional competitions as well as local and state contests. It helps you with your relations to others, as well as with your employer, shared I.C.T. Presi- Duane lwlson cuts stock for the lathe, a machine for shaping work and metal. dent Duane Wilson. It gives you a head start on other students because you have two years experience in the world of work. This year the business club has been incorporated into the Future Business Leaders of America, stated F.B.L.A. President,-Iohn Walker, We are only the se- cond school in the district to be in F.B.L.A. F.B.L.A. attended national and state competitions like I.C.T. Their contest included typing, shorthand, com- puter literacy and parliamentary procedures, specified sponsor, Ms. Pat Terry. The purpose of F.B.L.A. was to help students learn about business and what would be expected of them in the work place. F.B.L.A. is a place for people to get together who are interested in the same ideas, expressed member Robyn McClure, to learn about business and help out the community. O.E.A. Office Education Association, is designed to provide knowledge, skill and attitude needed for employment in an office occupation. This year O.E.A. had started to work on the com- puters. Sponsors, Diane Fite and Marianne Nash, as well as the O.E.A. members, felt the computers were a fun challenge. I think it's a good experience, exclaimed Shelly Nesmith, computers can be frustrating, but they're challenging and a lot of fun. O.E.A. competed in an area contest which brought its winners to Dallas. The competitors were tested in typing, filing, calculator and office skills. Vice President Nancy Holland added, O.E.A. prepares you to get ready for the outside world. At the O.E.A. Christmas party, Paige Patrick and Tonya Hilbun exchange ideas while enjoying the food.
