Distributive Education Austin Businesses Provide Training Reagan ' s DE Club is a member of DECA, Dis- tributive Education Clubs of America. The club offers a program in which members taking the DE program at school gain valuable experience in the business world by working half a day. Members attend school in the morning taking two of the courses offered in school curriculum and also a DE class. Selling techniques, correct business behavior and good cus- tomer service are a few of the varied topics of dis- cussion in the DE class. The DE Club has many activities during the year which include the DE members participating with other DE Clubs in an annual basketball game, com- peting in sales contests, attending morning breakfast with guest speakers such as Bob Barnes from Dil- lard ' s and Steve Barkley from Sears. Among the various projects of the DE students is the sponsoring of their annual sweetheart dance, where the club ' s sweetheart is chosen. They also at Christmas mailed cookies to ex-Reaganites who are now in Viet-Nam. In the spring there is an Employer-Employee Ban- quet held at the Villa Capri. This is in appreciation for the training time given to the DE students. This year because of growing interest the club was filled to capacity. The sponsor is Mrs. Grace Luter. THE DE INSTALLATION was held early in the year in the Reagan cafeteria.
