Training vertime Cooperative Occu a- tional Education classes not only gave students a chance to earn some money, but also gave them very important on- the-job trainin and a bet- ter understanfgng of the business world. GCOE is not really a class, it is more of a train- ing station, commented senior Carrie Crain. alt helped us fthe class membersj to get jobs, and then helped us to improve on them. ' Through contracts with certain comtpanies, students were traine in selected oc- cupations of their choice. Mr. Ray Bennett, COE teacher, commented, alt has been a cooperative ef- fort between the companies of this contract, and their employees, to create job ex- periences for students. VICA fVocational ln- dustrial Clubs of Americaj and DECA fDistributive Education Clubs of Americaj were two clubs made available to COE students. Social events including picnics and float trips were a few of the activities that VICA members enjoyed. ln the spring, members par- ticipated in local, state, and national competitions. ln these, competitions, the skills that were practiced over the year were displayed. General com- petition varied from com- mon jobs to unusual jobs such as shoeing a horse. Main projects of DECA were the selling of oranges at Vo-tech and working with the marines on the Toys for Tots campaign. For the benefit of the public, they also sponsored a shoplifting and free enterprise seminar. To improve the realistic side of owning and manag- ing a store, the also had a shop at Vo-llech with mannequins. During state competition at the Lodge of the Four Seasons, sales demonstra- tions were held to show how well students had learned to compete. Senior Laura Cass stated, Ml like COE because l need the money, and l don't have to work after school hours. l also don't feel as though l miss out on any games or other school activities?
