This is your life Traditional business courses and work-study programs offer future-oriented training usiness courses were especial- ly future oriented. Subjects ranged from beginning typewriting to marketing and merchandising. Some were offered as supplementary courses for tradi- tional schedules, while work-study programs - BOE, COE, ICT, M SL DE, and CCECA - offered an earn while you learn arrangement. Mr. jim Mclvlurry, faculty coordinator for marketing and distributive education, a work-study program involving 80 students, described the arrangement as an excellent opportunity for par- ticipants to become better all- around people. Students in the program have privileges that most students don't have, he added. For example, they receive school credit for working, they get to leave campus early, and participate in activities at the local, state, and national levels. Clubs took over where classes left off and offered chances for competition, leadership, and social development. Future Homemakers of America involved home econ- omics students in projects such as a diet club aimed at promoting proper eating and exercise. Business students, through Future Business Leaders of America, participated in activities ranging from an Ugly Legs contest to fund competition for a punch and cookie table for Open House guests in October. - By Anne jacob we X 2 is 5O!Academics WHAT NEXT? - Senior Tyara Bader checks her input in the business department's new computer terminal as she waits for the computer's next instruction.

This is your life Work-study spot on national TV promotes image of school's involve- ment and indicates club fringe benefits eing involved in a club offered a variety of fringe benefits. One came in Oc- tober when CCECA coordinator, Mr. Harold Stark, arranged for his students and members of the other vocational clubs - COE, VICA, DECA, FI-IA, and FBLA - to appear on ABC television's Good Morning America during National Vocational Week, February 6-12. Channel seven filmed the big scene in front of the auditorium. The Charger mascot was also included, and junior Phyllis Austin, who had a speaking part, recalled the experience as a lot of fun. I just had one line, she said. I said, 'I-Ii. I'm Phyllis Austin, and we're from Northeast High School' It wasn't long, but it was more complicated than you think. I had to have a lot of coachingf' The spot even required a wardrobe, for while it was filmed in October, it had to look like February. We had to wear winter clothes, and it was sorta hot, Phyllis recalled. When I was getting ready at home I thought, 'gosh do I have to wear this to school?'. But it wasn't too bad, and the efforts were definitely worth it she said. Being on national television was fun, she said. I'd never done that before. - By Rex DeI.oney.
