Working For Their Reward lt's fantastic to work with a group of people that are eager to gain the skills and benefits provided by the club enthused coordinators Susan Taylor and Tom Dahl. Future Business Leaders of America, a chapter open to any student currently enrolled in a business course, gave chapter members the opportunity to excel in leadership skills, human relation problems, and in the individual skills they utilized for competi- tions. Besides skills Ieorned, members gained self-confidence. FBLA members participated in fundraisers to pay their way through the many con- ferences they attended. The first conference was the Western Region Leadership Con- ference held in Portland during November. The competitive events were, for the first time, hosted by Kentridge. Taking place March 20, winners went on to compete in the state conference held in the tri-cities. Commented Tom Dahl, Hosting the competitions was a lot of hard work,, but it allowed students to compete with other students from different schools, enabling them to see themselves in a better light. FBLA is a great experience raved chapter vice president Marie North as she con- cluded, it's well worth the effort put forth. H. Bramschweig S.Sltilhl S.Smilh2. 1.

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.

Apporently there were plenty of guts in this yeor's Dromo Club with the twenty members being cited os very enthusictstic, very outgoing, ond very spirited.

Points were eorned through this porticipotion towords becoming o Thespion. Thriving on competition, Thes- pions porticipoted in the onnuol Woshington Associotion of Theoter Arts CWATAD Corn- petition in the spring.

As member Kelli Wougomon expressed, The reoctions of the people moke it oll worthwhile. Doing whot they wonted to do, Dromo Club members were cleorly on indepen- dent breed. Viewing members os on outsider, student Tony Sonchez found the chorocteristics thot set Thespions oport from the rest. Without o doubt, Thespions ore among the most outspoken, forword people on compus - ond this openness corries over into the other octivities they toke port in. They odd much. J. Coluccio T.
