0- t m, iQ ,y Mt X ' hile most Reaganites were busy worrying about their tans or what fraternity or sorority to join, the members of DE, HECE and VOCCT were busy learning skills that would help them in their careers. DE (Distributive Education) and HECE (Home Economics Cooperative Education) were part of the work half-day, go to school half- day program while VOCCT (Vocational Office Career Clubs of Texas) was an office duplicating program lasting two hours a day. DE centered around careers in marketing and retail. (President was John Zamarripa; secretary-treasurer was Lisa Velasquez.) We give students an over-all marketing course, explained DE sponsor Ms. Jo Hickman. We teach math, advertising, display, marketing, speech and youth leadership. HECE centered around home economics- related jobs, like child-care, food service and clothing, said HECE sponsor Ms. Frances Allen. We teach employer-employee relation- ships, personal management, free enterprise, career planning and exploration, and consumer rights and responsibilities. VOCCT (office duplication) students were taught spirit, stencil and offset printing by spon- sor Ms. Diane Wright. They also competed in contests. At state com- petition, Veronica Clark won first place in elec- trostatic master (a type of offset duplication); Dana Walden won first in waxed stencil duplica- tion; and Cassundra Freeman took second place in spirit duplication. CO c o CO o o All three groups were self-supporting. DE sold We love Austin car license plate frames; HECE members were dependable doughnut salesmen during the ten-minute breaks; and VOCCT printed books, pro- grams and tickets to raise money. The highlight of the HECE year was when vice president Don Dyson was nam- ed HECE Student of the Year for the city.
