Gregg was in charge of the cleaning supplies aisle. On Sales and Service istributive Education might have been the most practical of all vocational programs. No other program offered such a wide field of job training, Coach Joe Cole could instruct a girl selling make-up at BealI's, or a boy selling cameras at Gibsonsg you could be sure he had put those students a giant step ahead ofthe other employees. Valerie Turnbow was a good example of this. An employee at Leon's and a Sales and Marketing Executive Club member, she won the sales demonstration title in area contest. Gregg Boyd, employed by Foodland, not only won an area title, but also made State Finalist in the Food and Marketing category. Tom Chenaull at Texas Cam- era won salesman of the year in Austin and a S100 prize. Mr. Cole led an active DE program with a steady hand. Coach had a personal relationship with his students, which probably accounted for their doing so well. At the beginning of the year, he asked for 10O per cent of everybody - and that's what he got. You could find DE people everywhere. Mike Aleman, Debbie Myers, and Jamie Galloway worked at Handy Andy, and Terrie Kos- toft and Pam Johnson at Sage. A switch from department and gro- cery stores, Bob Hays worked at the Bergstrom A.F.B, commissary. Like most programs, DE had restrictions. You had to be sixteen, a junior or senior, able to maintain a C average, and be able to pro- vide your own transportation. Since DE not only offered sales jobs, but also a few office and advertising jobs, typing, bookkeeping, and drafting were recommended. Every first and third Wednesday, DECA met and voted on issues like what to do with the club treasury, The money was rarely spent for their own benefit. One idea was to donate everything to the cancer fund to help buy a kidney machine. DECA also sponsored employer-student breakfasts and usually put up their Christmas tree before anybody else. Other civic activities, social events, and leadership labs aided in the development of Vocational understanding, civic consciousness, social intelligence and leadership. HECE was a providing program. It provided opportunities in service jobs, from cooking hamburgers at McDonaId's to changing diapers at Garden Child Center. HECE provided fellow- ship between its students and the outside community, whether it was a party at a nursing home or a city-wide HECE get-together. To be in HECE, you had to hold a service job related to home economics, like food or cloth service or human relations. President Dave Simmons specialized in selling Scandinavian furniture and gifts at Shop Skandinavia. Vice-President Bruce Akroyd, Tammy Murray, and Bradley Shefferley helped sell those 21 billion ham- burgers at McDonald's. Tricia Moore and Willie McKinney served by taking care of people - Tricia worked with children at Hyde Park Baptist Child Development Center, and Willie worked with grown-ups at St. David's Hospital. Outside of their jobs, HECE students also served the community. FHA-HERO, HECE's affiliated club, sponsored a Christmas party at Four Seasons Nursing Center, and a coffee for the Lanier faculty. Each individual adopted an aged person to cheer throughout the year, HECE had a recreation side, too. Several off-campus breakfast meetings were held, including a special Christmas breakfast. After recruiting students for next year, HECE held a Bar-B-Q for its incoming members. de and hece 113 ,g.-9-U ,-

Sharon was a receptionist at Northwest Clinic. l With People in Programs t could have been a beauty salon, but there were too many girls, too much chatter. The atmosphere was just right, though, for the Cosme- tology room at Lanier, Many of the heads set up in front ot the mir- rors were just mannequinsq a tew were customers who liked the low prices. The girls shampooed, set, out and frosted hair. Paying customers and kids from the Austin State School also received manicures or scalp treatments. Senior Jamie Miner got interested back in eighth grade, when she had to do hair treatments with mannequins. She decided to work in a beauty shop fora year and then attend college, Joelle Cruz knew some beauticians and was just interested in cosmetology. After graduation, she will get her license to cut hair, then apply for jobs at beauty salons and work her way up from shampoo girl to head honcho Joelle mainly wanted to do facials and cut hair. The club was really a close knit group considering that girls all over the city attended Lanier for the program. The 23 girls were like a family and very close to Mrs. Wagner. They had to have good attendance and register with the Cosmetology Commission to carry out Mrs. Wagners hard, fast rules. The students hadto take biology and physical science classes. There was a future in Cosmetology for most ol the graduating girls. eeting people and learning to work with them, taking care ot responsibilities and problems that arose was a job within the job in VOE. To participate in VOE, students first learned typ- ing, bookkeeping and shorthand skills in addition to their required courses. Ben Crizzard, who worked at Statco as a keypunch operator, got a head start in the expanding computer job market. Sharon Mills combined book- keeping and receptionist work at the Northwest Clinic for five doctors. Sometimes it got pretty hectic, but usually I like it, she said. Terri Patter- son clerked at the State Board of Nursing Examiners and also helped out with the general office work. Students also took their talents to contest. Cheryl Wehmeyer, Donna Wil- dey, Diane Loftis and Janet McGuire placed at Area in Bound Bock and the whole VOE club went as voting delegates to State at Ft. Worth and National in Houston Four officers attended Youth Leadership Conference October 16, and on February 8, employers got together for the Employer-Employee Banquet. lt was a city-wide function and over BOO people attended. Other projects included socials and fund raising at which they made over S1000 by selling Christmas kits and candy. voe and cosmetology 1 15
