Hands-on Experience DECA CDistributive Educational Club of Americab, the national organization of D.E. classes, was sponsored by Mr. Marry Zolno who taught his students leadership roles, marketing skills, and community involve- ment through activities on and off campus. Guest speakers presented highly and ap- plicable material in workshops on personal health and beauty care. Selling calendars and key chains were just two fund-raising projects in which the class was involved. DECA members also participated in the school store's selling of school supplies. The symbol is the DECA diamond. The four points represent vocational understanding, leadership development, civic conscien- ciousness, and social intelligence. Develop future leaders for marketing and distributing, proudly represents the DECA CBEXFBLA - DECA - DCT motto said Mr. Zolno. As a community phillanthropic project, the DECA Club col- lected money for the Adam Walsh Fund. DECA officers for 1984-85 were President Staci Ludwig, Senior Vice President, Vickie Cooley, Junior Vice President Cheryl Roberts, Fashion Vice President Terry Beckler, Treasurer Brian Magee, Secretary Lisa Hernandez, Parliamentarian Kerry Johnson, and Chaplain Kevin Williams. In fall of '84 the public was treated to a fashion show which the students coor- dinated. The class planned the program, designed the set, posters, and programs and selected the talent and wardrobes. Their work was rewarded by the au- dience's appreciative response. D.C.T. students also were part-time students and part-time employees. .. gy-a.,.,,,,, ,.-V . .Y , , .'
