What did carpentry and auto mechanics have in common with the culinary arts and Alpha classes? For one thing, they provided a valuable amount of learning by doing. Carpentry, auto mechanics, and culinary arts, together, made up the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America IVICAI. They allowed students to gain knowledge by actually doing the work, like fixing a car, repairing an air condi- tioner, or baking a cake. VICA, spon- sored by Mr. Bill White, prepared students for their future, and the com- petitions in which they take part every year. These competitions included those on the district, state, and national levels. Alpha prepared students for the future by teaching them skills which will be useful to them in their jobs. Opened to eleventh and twelfth graders, many felt the club was very helpful. Diane Lowrey and Pam Phoenix shared the same opinion when they said, DECA offers us the opportunity to let us use what we learn in class in our jobs. They were glad, like many other students who have been involved in the club, to have had the opportunity to be a member of DECA for the past two years. Keeping his mind on the job.
