Experience is one thing you can ' t get for nothing Retailing has two new additions this year. These are involvment in Distributive Education Clubs of America, and the class is now a two-hour block. DECA allows stu- dents to learn and compete with others state and nationwide in areas of their interest. The dis- trict competition is held in one of several high schools in the St. Clair-Macomb County Area. All competitors may also compete in the state competition. Winners and runners-up advance to nation- al DECA competition. All members of Retailing and Marketing classes are eligible for membership in DECA. Because of the fact that the classes are longer students have time to learn the things that will help them in DECA competition. Funds for DECA are provided by the students themselves through various fund-raising projects.
