Future leaders trained Something new was created at Mona- can last fall, VICA, Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. This organization was developed to help students promote high standards in all phases of occupational endeavors including: ethics, workman- ship, scholarship, and safety. Through VICA students have the opportunity to learn more about labor, management, and the inter-dependence of these two groups.

An- other VICA project was providing the con- tainers in the smoking area to help keep this section clean. The club then sent out notices to all people with smoking per- mits asking them to please use the newly furnished receptacles. Every spring VICA sponsors a leader- ship skills contest. Students compete ina number of areas including speech, spell- ing, and leadership as well as auto-me- chanics, medical assisting, welding, etc. for the skills portion. If a student does well enough, the student can advance to higher competition. VICA is certainly a welcome addition to the clubs and organizations here at Mon- acan.
