Speaking without an accent, Paul Blount tells the French club about his summer trip to France. He spent five weeks with a French family learning the culture and seeing the sights. Photo by S. Roof. Field trips are fun! After the club went to a play in Winston-Salem they went shopping at Hanes Mall. Renee Trex- ler tries on a plastic Heman chest in a costume shop. Photo by J. Huffman.

Mrs. Anne Briggs, one of the advisors said, I enjoy teaching French this year, I am learning along with the students. The other advisor Mrs. Elizabeth Bartlett en- 72 I French Club joyed sharing students and club duties with Mrs. Briggs. The club went to Ft.J. Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem to see a live theatre production of L'Avare. The story, about a miser, was done in both French and English. Mary Weeks said, I really enjoyed the play, it was very interesting. lf Le Circle Francais members ever go to France, they will have an advantage over the students who didn't take French. They would be able to order correctly in a French restaurant and avoid the embarrassment of a waiter bringing a burning towel in- stead of real food! Senior Paul Blount made the trip to France last summer to live with a French family. It really wasn't too hard to com- municate, said Paul, and I had a terrific time. Hopefully more club members will be able to expe- rience French culture first- hand in the future. Angela Locklear

CLUB ECA is the student or- ganization designed to develop future leaders in the fields of marketing, merchan- dising and management. The club is open to all students en- rolled in any of the courses offered by the Marketing Edu- cation Department tcourses taught by Bell or Siwinskil. The purposes of DECA are to de- velop education in marketing which will contribute to occu- pational competence and to promote understanding and appreciation for the reponsibi- lities of citizenship in our free, competitive enterprise system. DECA is one of our school's most active organizations with a full calendar of activities year round. DECA began this year with election of chapter officers and individual class officers. A candlelight cere- mony was held in the school li- brary for installation of officers and induction of new members. DECA members designed an exhibit for the Rowan County Fair using this years DECA theme: Free En- terprise in Building Your Fu- ture to emphasize the three parts of Marketing Education: class, on-the-job and DECA activities. Students attended the following district activities: Leadership Conference at Wingate College in October, Officers Training at Sun Valley High School in December and Competitive Events in Salis- bury Mall in January. DECA members attended their 3 day State Career Development Conference in Charlotte in March where they were presented the three star Roses Chapter Activities Award for outstanding chapter participation in the yearly program of youth acitivity. The highlight of the year was the twelfth annual Fash- ion Show presented to the student body in April. Bonnie Bell D.E.C.A. i 71
