DECA: Great Quantity, Great Ouality Combining an exceptional quantity of new students with an additional teacher, Gor- dy Brockman, Distributive Education Clubs of America was well on its way to success. DECA members gained an understanding of job-related skills, business manage- ment, display, sales and marketing experience, and positive self-image. Putting their skills into effect, members also operated the school store through student managers, food, clothing, and gifts, buyers, and promoters. ln mid-March, students competed against local schools in class-related subjects. The competitions were challenging but well worth the effort, enthused senior Kelly Gor- man. lt was great when all you could hear at the awards session was Kentridge peo- ple called continously! Besides the competitions, members engaged in such activities as a leadership week-end conference held at Camp Cispus, visiting Seattle's Trade Center Ca wholesale fashion marketb, conducted dances and an employee-employer banquet, and the lipsink airband. lt is a good experience to be associated with winners, agreed advisors Deborah Roberts and Gordy Brockman with enthusiasm. lt's also rewarding to see students after a couple years and know they're successful!

A Common Experience of Leadership Filled with a wide variety of skills, the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America gave the common experience of leadership to all of its members. Consisting of several vocational areas, VICA was a unifying element that joined Commercial Art, Auto Services, Commercial Foods, Graphics, Metal!Machine Shop and Power Mechanics into one large group. Though trained in different areas, members enjoyed sharing and working ideas together. Participating in vocational activities proved to be helpful to students in preparing for future careers. Receiving direct training in their interests, the Commercial Art department was also able to enhance the experience of the Kingbowl. The club designed, produced and sold t-shirts com- memorating the climatic event. It was neat for the kids to see something they had helped make walking around the halls at school, noted Wes Soderberg, head of the Commercial Art depart- ment. Involved in outside activities as well, VICA also sponsored a school-wide food drive and at- tended the regional conference in Lynnwood in the fall. You met a lot of different people from all schooIs, recalled Jeanette Nyberg, everyone from auto shop students to cosmotologistsf' Rounding out the year were the progressive regional, state and national competitions in the respective areas. Commented Mr. Soderberg, Certainly an exciting aspect of VICA was state competition. There has only been two times in seven years that we lCommercial Artj haven't taken first. J. Coluccio and M.
