It is one of the oldest vocational work programs within the state. The purpose of D.C.T. is to pro- vide a vocational program with a diversified job outlook for high school students who wish to gain work experience in line with their future goals and in- terests, while still attending classes in their high school. North's D.C.T. students par- ticipated in a two hour block of class instruction in addition to a daily minimum of three hours on-the-job training. This was coordinated and supervised by their D.C.T. instructor and com- munity employers. The club aspect of the program involved fund raising projects, breakfast meetings, and district and state competition under the auspices of the State Cooperative Club of Florida At North High there were two Diversified Cooperative Train- ing fD.C.T.1 programs. One was taught by Mr. Frank Milner, the other by Mr. Iames Bohannon. Each group selected a president and vice-president who also served as representatives to district meetings. Mr. Milner's officers were Iohn Ammons and Darrell Beller, Mr. Bohannonis officers were President David Rosario and Vice-President Diana Cosby. In addition, Mr. Bohannon's class elected to name other officers to direct their activities. These were Secretary Denise Cody, Sergeant-at-Arms Ion Goodwin, Reporter Robert Shreffler, Treasurer Charlie Wise, and Social Chairmen Candis Glen- dinning and Tari Burton. D.C.T. students felt they had the best of all possible worlds, they earned high school credit for working in jobs of their choice, and received instruction in skills that would enable them to secure even better positions in the future.

orking ith Class The Distributive Education Club of America lD.E.C.A.l is a nationwide organization. North's chapter members, under the guidance of Mr. Robert England and Mr. Bruce Forster, learned to com- municate with others and to demonstrate pride in all their undertakings. ii D.E.C.A.'s elected officers for 1981-82 were President Ieff Dillon, Senior Vice- President Natasha Webster, Iunior Vice- President Karen Putman, Treasurer Kelly Crager, Secretary Wanda Brown, Parliamentarian Theresa Smith, Historian Gary Martin, Reporter Rose Reid, and Chaplain Rick McComb. During their two to three period classes, the thirty D.E.C.A. students explored the world of marketing and merchandising. Specific areas they received instruction in ranged from communication skills and I 5 I retailing to the more advanced fields of advertising, finance, credit, and real estate. They continually perfected their skills in the classroom and on the job. They entered the annual district competitions to demonstrate their proficiences. The com- petitions dealt with problems and situa- tions they encountered in the work field in which they had found employment. Win- ners at the district level then entered state and even national competition. Goals are important to all clubs and organizations. D.E.C.A.'s particular goal was to help their fellow students deal with their future, and to establish and promote PRIDE in themselves, their school, and the community. D.E.C.A. members felt the key to all success was positive thinking . . . to believe and to seek the extreme. 2 1 - During their two hour class period, DECA students study marketing and merchandising techniques. 2 - DECA President Ieff Dillon sells Natasha Webster some paper from the DECA store. 3 - i'Winter Reflections, a DECA fashion show, kept students entertained during their lunch period. 4 - DECA: IL to R1 Row 1 - Sherry Rudd, Debbie Zabinofsky, Matt Sturm, Ieff Dillon, Todd Oliver, Rick Mc- Comb, Dave Ryals, Robby Ower.
