peaking of hard working students, this year's DECA club members were working at school, jobs, and on an ANTI- SHOPLIFTING CAMPAIGN. Mr. Peeples sponsored the club and had this to say: Students were dedicated, hard-working, and con- tributed much to the school and community. One of their main purposes is to create an interest in marketing and Distributive Education among students. To do this the club is set- ting up a slide show of members working at their jobs and presented it to those interested. Many Juniors and Seniors were able to create situations where students can develop leadership and self-reliance at the jobs where they worked. They also developed vocational understanding, social intelligence, civic consciousness, and leadership. The officers worked very hard in leading the club. As president, Steve Siebold worked diligently with the other officers and the spon- sor, Mr. Peeples. He did a wonderful job and everyone was pleased with the job he did. The other offices were held by Charlene Waite, Jennifer Lowery, Gaynell Turner, Lesa Stubblefield, and Mindy Clements. The DECA club members maintain a C average and must be a Junior. A member also needs to be approved by either a counselor or principal. These members get on the job training, an education, and valuable experience. V3 - 'lfl'-' 1 R3 H4
