The DECA organization par- ticipated in many exciting projects throughout the year. They started off with their new officer installation at a dinner honoring both the new and old officers. During the month of October, members made Halloween bags for all the vocational teachers and their classes. The members also sponsored a big Thanks- giving luncheon for all the faculty in thanks for all their help during the year. At Christmas they helped host the faculty luncheon which was sponsored by the high school administration. Competition began in January as club members went to the BADET mini-olympics com- petitions. The contests helped the students in the bay area clubs get ready for official DECA competitions in marketing practices, sales and advertising. The practice competition paid off as members won a total of 14 trophies, ribbons and certificates in other contests designed to prepare students for the Area III conference. Finally at the Area III competition a number of members earned top awards and certificates. The annual banquet at Holiday Inn in La Marque capped off the year. Members honored their employers as well as outstanding students at the banquet. Two students who received special recognition during the year were Sherlinda Lamb and Laura Gamble. Sherlinda was Area III secretary and Laura was the Area III advertising services winner who advanced to the state contest. 56 Organizations
