DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Distributive Education Club of America tackled the difficult task of preparing its members for today’s complex business world. Students left school at twelve-thirty for their various training stations. Knowledge learned in the classroooms included ex- perience in salesmanship, advertising, display, mer- chandising, economics, and psychology while the jobs provided practical experience. Highlights of this year included monthly dinner meetings, the Bosses’ Ban- quet, and participation in the local, state, and perhaps, national level in DECA tests. Club members were especially proud when their booth placed in the County Fair. 56 Sponsor, Mrs. Taylor, talks to a local merchant about a student that he has hired.
