Randall's was a real educa- tional experience. Not only did I gain knowledge and ex- perience in the grocery business, I got to work with students my age. Timko, like many other DECA students gained work- ing skills while gaining an education. Therefore, when they graduate, they will have valuable work experience above other students who have no work experience. Photo by Blake Plaisance.

' moaw i Rows of red tomatoes, piles of potatoes, stacks of banan- nas, and lines of lettuce had been put in their proper place and now the water being sprayed made them look fresh and delicious. This responsibility, among many other, kept Tim Timko very busy at work. Like other students, Tim applied the knowledge that he received as a student of Marketing and Distributive Education. DECA students practiced salesmanship abilities both on the job and in the classroom. K'The students gained experience while gaining an education, Bob Jackson, DECA sponsor, said. Students joined DECA for many reasons. I joined DECA because the program interested me, Holly McGowan said. I joined DECA so I could get a job and become more responsible once I get out of school, Denise Walton said. The students' grades were determined by their class work upon where they studied communication, market, and job related studies, and by the reports Mr. Jackson received from their employers. With the help of DECA, many students not only gain- ed money and a sense of responsibility, but the knowledge they need in order to be experienced in the field that they choose to work in.

They passed last year's dona- tions of S50 with over EBIOO in pennies, nickels, and quarters. Following the Halloweeen fundraiser, they sold Christmas items in order to enter area, state, and national competitive events and spon- sor a family for the holidays. They also adopted grand- parents at a local nursing home and sent them cards and gifts. 'sThis year's club members were really serious about making their club great, Pat Terry, sponsor, said. Pat Terry, Erie Jones, Carolyn Alexander, Connie Cope and Lisa Furlow advis- ed the group.

Q-W5 ompetition rings . K, . Once the students in Auto Mechanics finished resear- ching their projects and writing their research papers, they began designs that they would enter in to competi- tion. They then purchased parts and completed their projects. Following the com- pletion of their projects, they transported their projects to be judged for competition. Competition, being a major part of Auto Mechanics took a lot of time and skills. There were many different feelings among the students as to whether they benefitted more by working individually or as a group. I like working in groups because each person in the group can help one another if a problem occurs, Kirk J orden said. I prefer to work by myself, that way, I can have the tools there when I need them, Robert Elliott said. Individually is more challenging because the work is all yours, but group is just as beneficial because you can teach others and they can teach you, Jim Smith said. I am glad I took Auto Mechanics because it will help me with my career deci- sion, Theresa Klawinsky said.
