Three of Kofa's FTA officers attended an officer's workshop in Gilbert, Arizona during Oct- ober. At this workshop they received ideas for fund raising projects and leadership skills. The club broke d ow n into groups a n d visited different schools, this helped the students know which field of teaching would interest them. FBLA FBLA, was a club for stu- dents who were looking forward to careers in business. The chief objective was to develop strong, aggressive leadership so that stu- dents might participate more ef- fectively in t h e business and community life of which they are a part. In order to turn out highly qualified business p eople, the club attempted to strengthen the confidence of the individual and his work, and to encourage mem- bers to develop character and leadership by working together in the home, the business, and the community. The club also attempted to c r e a t e a better understanding of business and develop an active interest in the members, the c h o i c e of an occupation. One of FBLA's money-making projects was selling red and white spirit beanies. lil' Bottoivi Row: o. Baker-vice 102 ORGANIZATIONS Pres., N. Gallegos, S. Garcia. TOP ROW: J. Dotts S Her iot, R.
