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.

C'est la vie, mon amis. The Foreign Language Club was involved in numerous activities throughout the year. During Homecoming Week they joined with F.T.A. in decorating the cafeteria. Also, on the day of the game their members decorated cars with signs and streamers for many of Wyatt's fans. Dinner par- ties featuring foreign cuisine were some of their most excit- ing proiects. Barbara Sisson held a French Dinner at her home, a German Dinner was held at Susie Hitt's and a Spanish Fiesta, complete with costumes and authentic Spanish dishes, was given by Olga Herrera. Among their other projects were field trips to the Mardi Gras at Nolan High School, the Octoberfest at Tarrant County Convention Center and a trip to Mexico City for a week during the Easter break. They paid for many of their socials and proiects with the profits made from the sale of 1973 Calendars and Valentines. Their year was full of fun, excitement, learning and new experiences. Support your local debate team. Competition was the by-word for the 1972-73 Wyatt Debate Club. Wyatt students entered more speech tourna- ments and brought home more awards than in any previ- ous year. The members of the Wyatt Debate Club repre- sented the school in a number of competitive speech events, such as debate, oral interpretation, persuasive speaking and a variety of other interesting events. Mem- bers improve their abilities to speak, argue and research more effectively in a format that proves both educational and enioyable. Highlighting the sixteen tournament schedule attended by the debate club were out of town meets in Austin, Wichita Falls, Abilene and Tyler. Among the more out- standing awards won during the past school year were a First Place Sweepstakes trophy at Eastern Hills High School and a First Place Sweepstakes trophy at the Tarrant County Junior College tournament. Optimism ran high at the end of the year, as the mem- bers of the club, all returning next year, looked forward to future success in the competitive forensics. f ffm.
