Wrough-iron plant stands were the hottest item to hit the market—perhaps in the history of McMinnville High School. DECA members took orders in the school store located in room 20 and VIC A members filled the orders from their headquarters in the metals shop. Over 100 plant stands found their way into McMinnville homes. DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) members marketed many other items in the school store. Profits from the sale of cards. Grizzly shirts, school supplies and the popular buttons were used to finance the group’s attendance at the Career Development Conference in Portland’s Hilton Hotel in March. Joining other groups from across the state, VICA (Vocation-Industrial Clubs of America) members traveled to Salem during National Vocational Education Week in February. After a tour of the Capitol, McMinnville members presented Governor Robert Straub with a plant stand decorated with a metal-sculptured VICA. Plant stands proved to be an example of only one of many talents of VICA members. Three bronze and two silver medals were captured at the statewide Sill Olympics in April. In addition, two Mac students were elected to state offices at the event and traveled to Miami for the National VICA Convention.
