A Stylish Vocation To 34 Lanier girls students, the school year consisted of rolling, styling, combing, curling, and cutting hair, plus all the other necessities that go along with being a member of the Cosmetology club. With Mrs. Wagner as their sponsor, the Cosmetology club spent three hours a day for two years preparing themselves for careers they could begin directly out of high school. Students learn leadership, getting along with each other, cooperation, and fair play, said Mrs. Wagner. President Kathy Cantwell agrees. I receive the benefits of working with people and of learning a vocational skill, said Kathy. Officer Phyllis Clark remembers rolling her dolls' hair as a child. I enjoy helping people. I learn to work with the public and get along with people l don't know, said Phyllis. Selling singing Christmas cards and candy dolls helped pay for their out of town trips for competition. Cosmetology also sponsored a Christmas party for girls at the State School. They also did the girls' hair for free. Competition took place at Holmes Junior High in San Antonio this spring. Five girls were eligible for the statewide contest in Dallas. Those included were President Kathy Cantwell, Jodi Johnson, Debbie Ray, Sammi Styles, and Petra Club.

Meeting people and working with them unitedly was part ot being a VOE member. Members learned more than office work. They learned how to handle the responsibilities that came to them. ' . The group contributed much of their time to the community when two needy families received baskets of food at Thanksgiving. A family at Christmas felt warmth and gratitude for the club when a bundle of clothes was brought to their door. They showed their affections to the State School for the Blind with an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning. f VOE was extraordinary as a whole, and everyone was involved. Syvlia Townsend, president for senior VOE members, was selected as Miss VOE. State competition proved rewarding for Donna Wildey when she won first place in accounting. We have people representing Lanier and making it look good, said Mrs. Galloway, Jonna Welsh and Elaine Dickerson worked at the Lloyd Bentsen Headquarters. Syvlia Townsend worked in a lawyer's office as an assistant secretary. An overabundance of jobs as secretaries, accountants, file clerks, typists, and financiers kept senior VOE members working throughout the year. The club raised over S1000 selling stationery and fattening people up on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The money helped them get to contests and paid for their annual banquet attended by the employers of the members that worked. Working for the law firm Meadows, Cowden and Foster, senior Voe president Sylvia Townsend gets familiar with a few law books, Sylvia was elected Mis VOE by her club.
