Pursuing creativity in a variety of ways, Art students applied themselves to silkscreen, boutiques, batiks, stitchery, copper enameling, charcoal casting, pen and ink drawings, line designs, and soap carvings. Some students indulged in clay, Senior Andy Patterson said it was fun but, We needed a lot more potter's wheels. Making do with the materials, art students seemed to be specialists who were satisfied with concentrating on the use of their hands as a means of expression. Although the lack of materials was always present, Art teachers seemed to get wise to the fact that money could be raised by school sponsored shows such as Arts and Crafts Sale, held in the first week of December. With the money from the Art Sale in April, 1975, teacher Barbara Dillon was able to purchase an additional sink and more cabinets, as a means of brightening the room and as a service to those who were messy when they worked. For additional working materials the cabinets provided space so the problem of storage was soon corrected. In response to the State Attorney General's announcement that art students would no longer pay fees, Barbara Dillon said, I hope it doesnft hurt the Art program. The question is whether or not the district will be able to furnish the Department with enough money to provide necessary equipment and materials to continue our present program. Not pin-pointing any one specific subject to teach, Mrs. Dillon enjoyed seeing each student working up to his potential and discovering new interests. Most art teachers agreed that this was the most outstanding group of art students they had encountered in many years. Even though the noises and smells from the Cray Wing repulsed some, others realized that they produced a self-satisfying means of expression. ART - 205

Turtles and M8tM's were sold by the ambitious students, which profitted the clubs' activity funds. VOE served as a training ground for students. They are in an office situation, said Sponsor Shirley Coco. The students went to school for a half of a day and the other half they dedicated to working at various jobs. Teachers were special to vocational students, every month a cake was delivered to the ones with birthdays. f'This was the way we showed our gratitude for their services, said Mrs. Coco. Candy sales were in effect for most of the year. The final celebration came at the awards dinner at Steak and Ale where gift certificates were given to those who had sold the most candy. Nancy Hugley sold the most and won a E520 award. Mary Coleman was second receiving S15 and Vivian Brown received STO for third place. Profits for the mass affair went toward the Spring Branch Employee Banquet where each student took her boss to dinner. New officers were installed at a candlelight ceremony given by the Office Education Association chapters. The presidents were Laura Agnew and Linda lvans. Other officers installed were Vice-President Vivian Brown, Secretaries Giny Mora and Christy Mimms, Treasurer Stacy Spence, Historian Kelly Shanahan, Parliamentarian Carol Brooks and Sergeant- at-Arms Kelly Adams.

The year's officers were President lody lnscho, Vice President Stacey Gould, Secretary Cheryll Bartells, Treasurer Lisa Pletcher, Reporter Mitzi Minns, Historian Harry Weber and Parliamentarian Vicki Fluker. There was a district DECA contest at Westchester january 13. Anitra King came in third in display, Mitzi Minns third in public speaking and lody lnscho second in job interviewing. Other students entered events with hardworking effort but failed to place. Memorial DE students entered a contest on February 13 and 14 at Clear Lake High School. These workshops concerned career areas and competitive events corrolated with the DE classroom work. The DECA window box located at the end of the Upper Grey Wing hall, was decorated weekly by a DE student. The ideas came from the student's place of employment. DE students sold M8tM's and the race with VOE was at a high strung tension point. The money netted was used for contest entries. Students who participated in these services were rewarded with the knowledge of having helped the community. Planning a busy day of lecturing is DECA Adviser Mrs. Martha jones. VOEXDECA 207
