Business clubs , the fun part of class ' Students intfriMcii in business careers and who were enrolletl in business classes enjoyed FBLA, Future Business Leaders of America, a new club ai Reagan. FBLA was geared for students interested in a career in business, who wanted to establish occupational goals, and gel first- hand experience with people in the business world. The club also provided an easy transi- tion from school to work, a chance to practice efficient money management and to learn the value of community respon- sibility. Students also participated in dif- ferent areas of competition which included regional, state, and national. The club also had many fund raisers in- cluding a bake sale, curb-painting and sell- ing floating candles. Officers of the club were Becky Herrera, president; Debra Coley, vice-president; Paula Ray, secretary; Becky Heliums, treasurer; and Rosemary Wilson, historian reporter. Raising money for the national contest was top priority to the members of OEA, Office Education Association. The club had two money making projects, one sell- ing candy bars and one selling items out of Tom Watt kits. In October, the club members received their Tom Watt kits, full of different household items and odds and ends. Although this project was a little harder to sell, the profits are a lot larger th.iti those of the candy sales, comnunicd Ms. Sue Ella Foster, sponsor of the OEA club. The ( EA club w.is made up of students out of PEL (Pre-employment lab) and VOE (Vocational Office Education). These are lab classes where students learn office techniques. PEL is for juniors and VOE is for seniors. Most members are in the club because they are taking one of these classes. Yt)u could say it ' s the fun part of class, com- mented Paula Ray, OEA historian. The OEA local contest was held at Lanier High School, February 19. The win- ners from local competition wen t to the state competition in Houston along with the state convention March 28. From there the winners go to the national contest in Tennessee. It wasn ' t all work and no play for the club though. On October 26, they were in- volved in a city wide Skate-o-thon. The money went to an area scholarship fund and the Special Olympics. October 31, some members dressed up and passed out Halloween candy to the children at Brackenridge Hospital. Officers for OEA were: Becky Herrera, president; Ann Neary, first vice-president; Regina Gallatin, second vice-president; Janet Scroggins, secretary; Cynthia Brooks, treasurer; Christy Felan, reporter; Paula Ray, historian; and Maureen Turner, parliamentarian.
