Preparing to go out into the business world, students often sought the necessary training during high school. Classes like typing, shorthand, data processing, business machines, accounting and many others provided a workable knowledge of the skills needed to succeed. Students were fortunate to have a variety of busi- ness classes from which to choose. Many wanted to gain ex- perience for secretarial and office management train- ing. They generally enrolled in the two-hour course called Cooperative Office Education. Students in COE, bank- ing and other business classes found the student organization, Future Busi- ness Leaders of America, to be helpful and fun. As their major project for the year, FBLA members compiled, typed, printed and sold the student directory. They enjoyed various activities such as the officer installation, Halloween party and the annual watermelon feast. Seniors Shelly Cosby, Tamara Hankins, Taunya Kinchion, Mindy Marsh, Amber Warren, Randy Wright and juniors Stephanie Black and Debra Clark attended the FBLA Leadership Conference for leadership training in Tulsa on September 29-30. Distributive Education Club of America provided an outlet for those inter- ested in the DEfMarketing program. DECA provides students with skills neces- sary to perform at their potential in the work force, said Mrs. Leda Kincannon, sponsor. DECA taught the aspects of marketing, dis- tribution and management and developed leadership qualities. Activities in- cluded a Fall Leadership Conference, Decathalon, mini-conference, state ,. 2-r,3 'f' -ee-..',g-r,5: .a competition and then, for those qualifying, national competition.

Three DECA students received a gold plaque for the Program at Work project at the national career development con- ference in Atlanta at the end of the year. Seniors Holly McCoy, Shawn Brown and Serena Eden won one ofonly l2 ofthese awards given throughout the nation. Business courses. backed by business-related student organizations, gave stu- dents a background to begin looking toward a promising future in the business world. 5 l I t ECA.

Members of French Club, Spanish Club and Junior Classical League had fun while learning about their respective foreign languages and cultures. Junior Classical League, a club for students inter- ested in the Latin language and Roman tradition, featured one principal activity. Most of the year was devoted to preparation for the state JCL conven- tion at Norman High School on April ll and l2. The convention began on Friday night with open- ing ceremonies, Latin tests and volleyball competi- tion, in which the hard- playing members took third place. Junior Anna Simpson also campaigned for the state office of parli- amentarian. The following Saturday morning featured athletic events. Senior Ayumi Ide won the girls' high jump competition, and she rode in the chariot pulled by other members in the chariot race. All of the academic and Olympian activities made this state convention especially fun. The convention provided an escape from our routine JCL proce- dures, said president Todd Corn. Spanish students who wished to learn more about Spanish culture joined the Spanish Club. During the Christmas party at senior Leasa Bruce's house, students exchanged gifts with secret pals, broke open a pinata and went caroling. Later in the year, members made and sampled Spanish delicacies for a class project. French Club is a great experience to help us learn about French culturef' said senior Barry Nance. It helps us to realize how the French have influenced American society. Early in the year, members attended a French play at a local theater, and sold valentines and flowers in February. Three activi- ties, the Progressive Dinner, Mardi Gras and banquet featured exquisite French food. Costumes and crepes, a French dessert, highlighted the Mardi Gras celebra- tion. Senior Dylan Romo, who dressed as Merlin the magician, won first place in the costume contest, and junior Matt Martin took second. Matt had dressed as the cartoon character Gumby.

wifi? v--www-M L is 4 Jobs Hinder Grades Having to work at an outside job while still going to school seemed difficult for some, but not for many business students. A requirement for both the DEfMarketing and Cooperative Office Education programs was a certain amount of time spent per week in a job outside of school. Students worked at department stores, su- permarkets, fast food restaurants, offices, recreational establish- ments and many other businesses that would hire young people with either little or no ex- perience. all kinds of tasks. They were everything from clerks and cashiers to sackers, stockers and maintenance workers. While the stores usually closed by 9 or 10 p.m., students weren't always allowed to leave at that time. Late night cleaning, straightening and restocking had to be done. Though the money came in handy, the hours were often long, especially after atten- ding school all day. Doing homework or studying for a test after getting off work often seemed just too much. aping It Up. Two members of FBLA try to recruit others for their club at the beginning of the year. All clubs recruited members on clubs day. FBLA, known for its large size. again signed up more than 50 members. The organization, which promised its members trips. lectures and a lot of fun. served mainly as the club for COE students. ..l... inishing Touches.
