We are the lead The members of V.l.C.A. spent the year helping each other develop leadership abilities for a world of work, attain a purposeful life and create an enthusiasm for learning. United by a common bond, they worked to promote high standards in trade ethics, workmanship, scholar- ship and safety. Their time was spent in many vocational, recreational and social activities. These activities were designed to create respect not only for the dignity of work but also for the individual. Students involved in V.l.C.A. received professional guid- ance in establishing realistic voca- tional goals which would help them attain a purposeful life. Earn while you learn The O. D. Wyatt Distrib- utive Education classes consisted of thirty-five iun- iors and seniors whose applications were consid- ered after a personal interview with the prespec- tive student and his parent or guardian. These stu- dents were then selected on the basis of grades, attendance, citizenship, the recommendations of other teachers, and previ- ous employers when appli- cable. The major goals of the program involve the con- cept of free-enterprise, money management through the 'earn while you learn' program, and the importance of respon- sibility and reliability. The student completed his high school education not only with qualifications for college entrance, but also possessed a saleable skill and a mature set of values as a result of his participation in the busi- ness world. ers of tomorrow's business world.

I can't wait to go to the convention in San Antonio. F.T.A. become one of the most active organizations at Wyatt this year. The club sought to understand the teaching profes- sion - its rewards and its disappoint- ' ments. The membership totaled an enthusi- I astic forty-five. Their calendar of activities was full all year long with numerous social and service proiects. The day before school, they gave the faculty and administration a tea to wel- come them to the new school year. To involve themselves with the officers of the other clubs and help the others to be bet- ter leaders, they sponsored an Officers' Workshop. In service to the entire student body, the members sold and delivered red, white and pink carnations on February fourteenth. The club traveled to San Anto- N , R nio February twenty-third and fourth for the second state convention ever attended by Wyatt's F.T.A. The club felt more involved in the convention this year because they had a voting delegate and entries in the scrapbook, handbook and special proiects competition. Larry Rose and Terry Stewart represented Wyatt at district competition for Mr. and Miss F.T.A. Both Larry and Terry coveted the District Xl title making them candidates for the state- wide contest in San Antonio. The Installa- tion Banquet in the spring was second in excitement only to the convention. At that time the officers for the T973-74 school year were installed. The honored guests at the banquet were the nine teachers which had been selected as Teacher of the Month during the current year. The members of F.T.A. were exposed to a variety of situations.
