Working hard and accomplishing goals took time, effort, and unity. These characteristics were vital to the large career oriented group known as the Future Business Leaders of America. Everyone in- volved in this organization took business related courses, attend- ed meetings during class time and used their ideas to promote civic and personal responsibilities. Leadership was one of the many important roles stressed to the one hundred and sixteen F.B.L.A. members who wanted to achieve the highest success in their work. Within the group, competition in business and vocational fields was brought together in state and na- tional contests. Through these organized competitions they learn- ed new levels of education, skill, competency, and responsibility. Never having an idle moment to spare while working toward the future, the F.B.L.A. easily showed everyone that they were on the move.

IDVMAPII® TRW During practice after school, Maria Stamoulas, Alan Episcopo, and Al Schultz use a mechanical buzzer to sharpen their reflexes. Who had the fastest Tiands in the school? Who could answer ques- tions on almost any topic under the pressure of television lights and cameras? It was the Dynamic Trio which was the It’s Academic Team. Most people knew the trio as Alan Episcopo, Al Schultz, and Maria Stamoulas. Maria had the distinction of being the first female in the team’s history. Com- petition with area schools was aired on Channel 4’s It’s Academic, hosted by Mac McGarry. The trio and two alter- nates were chosen from the thir- teen member It’s Acamemic Club. The eight remaining members at- tended the Wednesday team prac- tices throughout the year both to give the team some competition and to get ready for next year's tryouts. In its first year of existence the Republican Club was proof that one didn’t have to be eighteen to get involved in politics. The club, composed mainly of minors, cer- tainly had its share of involvement- -volunteer work for the Parris and Reagan campaigns, lobbying ef- forts, special tours of Congress, and demonstrations in front of the White House. In addition, the club was responsible for bringing Republican speakers to school. A high point of the year was an in- vitation to Reagan’s National Vic- tory Party at the Washington Hilton on election night. Club members were there as election returns showed Reagan’s land- slide victory, an event some observers felt was a significant tur- ning point in U.S. political history. anticipate IT’S ACADEMIC Sponsor: Mrs. Bernie Glaze; Team members: Alan Episcopo.

Applying Cosmotology classroom skills. Paige Schrum intricately french braids Michelle Davis' hair. imy Rousch «raid Kathy Cosmotology I to overhand french hair in the ON COURSE Using a printing calculator, Renee Lafond tabulates the annual SGA magazine drive's Knowing what career to begin after high school gave the members of V.I.C.A. (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) and C.O.E. (Cooperative Office Education) the chance to get ahead by starting training early. To catch an overall beautiful affect, designing and hairstyling were applied during class time in the Cosmotology department. V.I.C.A. members with money raised from their Fall Festival make-up and hairstyling booth were able to visit interna- tional, state and local clothing and hair shows throughout the year. As an extension of classroom work, C.O.E. students were allowed to work in an office occupation, mak- ing job skill training possible while receiving credit for graduation. Working in a chosen job objective, getting paid a part-time salary and being responsible for the finances in the annual SGA magazine drive kept C.O.E. students on their toes. Whether in front of mirrors or behind typewriters and computers, these organizations knew what they were doing all of the time. Preparing for tomorrow by using their talents and skills had these students moving right on course. VICA Sponsor: Mrs. E. Sayer; Officers: B. Barber, B. Bragg, W. Dailey. T. Duncan. L. Irish. C.
